Togo - The Upper World - Femi Fadugba
Just out doing a few jobs in my hometown of Belper, and popping into the local Oxfam bookstore. It's a decent sized secondhand books store and does have a science fiction and fantasy section. I do like to browse through the shelf, but it's mainly fantasy books, and light on science fiction. But this book caught my eye due to the don't used was the same as one used by Wole Tablay's Brass head of shindig, and the authors name stood out as an African name. A quick Google and BOOM! Born in Togo. 30 seconds and £2.99 later the book was in my pocket and on my To Be Read list.
The Physical Book:
It's ok, nothing amazing, kind of generic modern science fiction cover art. It was the Font that drew me in for a closer look, and made me notice the authors name. So the artwork did draw me in, but it wont win any prizes or make it on to the walls of my home.
