    From Bobbie Sellers@21:1/5 to All on Fri Apr 25 22:59:31 2025
    Hi Habitues,
    I am sort of full of Ringworld though it was quite enjoyable
    as text only. The drawings resemple manga though as i casually flipped
    though it. This was my first visit to the SFPL-Main in nearly 5 months.
    If you have a friend to introduce to SF it might be a good
    idea.

    It came out in 2014.

    I had a look on both Amazon and Apple’s sites. Apple explicitly says no
    DRM; Amazon doesn’t seem to say anything on the subject, not a good sign. Both had previews. the graphics were... underwhelming. And, worse, it’s
    just Part One, and it’s been a decade with no Part Two. (If there’s a
    Part Two, I can’t find it in either Apple or Amazon.) There would be a probability that it will never be finished, and a near certainty that the
    other books in the series won’t get the graphical treatment.
