Where can I get the book “E PLURIBUS UNICORN” by Theodore Sturgeon?
this is a science fiction book
It looks like it might be out of print, even on the American amazon site all the editions are from 1953-1979 so they are almost definately out of print.
You might be able to find a second hand copy somewhere, or try some of these websites who search for out of print books:
www.usedbooksearch.co.uk
www.ukbookworld.com
www.abebooks.co.uk
www.dustybooks.co.uk
www.beaverbooksearch.co.uk
I’m not sure if these companies charge, but if you go into some bookshops (definately most branches of Waterstone’s) they should be able to give you details of companies which search for free with no obligation to buy it.
Hope you manage to find it!!

Silverberg, Robert
Roma Eterna by Robert Silverberg?
What is the Complicating incident in the BOOK?????/
THANKS IN ADVANCE
The book is basically one great conceit to the ‘what if’ bundled inside an extensive history. If that’s your sort of thing (and it certainly is mine), you’ll love it. Otherwise, you may find youself rapidly bored or confused.
Addition:
Robert Silverberg’s “Roma Eterna” is actually a collection of short stories he wrote between 1989 and 2003 detailing a Roman Empire that never fell. While each story is a stand-alone tale within the alternate history of the world, taken together, they read much like another recent alternate history that details a radically different history of Euroe and Asia: Kim Stanley Robinson’s “Years of Rice and Salt”.
It becomes apparent very early in the book that Silverberg envisions not merely one but a chain of events as being necessary for Rome to not fall: a failed Jewish Exodus, Christianity never arising, a strong Emperor heading off the Third Century crisis, a definitive destruction of the Northern barbarians and Persia and an assassination of Mohammed before he could spread the word of Allah. In the context of world history we as we know it, the chain is a pretty fragile one, but it does make for an interesting exercise in history – much like the entire book. Some of his ideas have a very real ring of possibility to them: a Rome squandering the military might of a generation on an unsuccessful attempt at invading the Americas, Eastern and Western Empires that eventually fall on each other in a series of Civil Wars, a Rome grown fat and decadent on trade throughout the world that breeds emperors even more insane and bizarre than those known historically. However, for each of these interesting and realistic twists, he allows himself more than a few historical parallels: the World Wars, Leonardo da Vinci, the French Revolution – and his modern Rome (of 1970) bears a great deal of resemblance to a modern Europe under a traditional Roman hegemony.
