About Us


Diaspar Books is owned and operated by Dan Reid. Dan has been a lifelong science fiction reader and collector. Diaspar Books is brand new, so please bear with Dan as he brings the site up to speed. Any suggestions for improving the site would be greatly appreciated! Feel free to contact Dan at [email protected] with any book requests or site suggestions or problems. Dan's non-business Facebook page is here.


Diaspar Books is named after the fabulous, ancient, last city of Diaspar in Arthur C. Clarke's novel The City and the Stars, and its earlier version, Against the Fall of Night.


Diaspar Books' "city and the stars" artwork was created by Larry Iversen. Inquiries about Larry's artwork may be directed to [email protected].
