    THE FAR CRY by Fredric Brown.

    Oh, and I was incorrect...there are two crime titles I still need: The other one is THE PLASTIC NIGHTMARE by Richard Neely.

    Both of these titles are incredibly scarce...no idea if I'll ever have a shot at either, but I remain hopeful.

    Thanks. It wasn’t too bad…more than I would’ve preferred to pay, but less than what I’ve seen other copies go for (on those very rare occasions when they pop up), so in that Happy Medium range, I suppose. Definitely thrilled to have this one in hand, and looking forward to reading all that supplemental short fiction, might even revisit the novel. This was the Big One for me.

    I think that only leaves one Centipede crime title that I still need, so I guess that’s now Number One with a Bullet. But if it never happens I’ll still sleep contentedly with this Fisher volume on my shelf.

    I picked up another — quite possibly my (older) Centipede grail — a few days ago…should see that one in a week or so.

    The Grant set was announced a couple of years ago. I have been impatiently waiting for the official announcement. Hopefully in the next year or so

    No sweat — thanks for the notice it’s there…I’ll track it down tonight.

    Looks like the link just goes to the home page and I can’t edit it out. Sorry!

    From what I remember the price was the same. I don’t know which is more rare or if there is any way to track down that info.

    Here’s the link to Camelot’s page which shows a picture of the red boards:

    What was the second binding for THE OTHER?
    Fredric Brown is simply out of his mind, and once you read this completely out of hand take on greed, sex and death in the carny, you'll wonder how in the hell he can pack so much story in so little space. Madball -- told primarily through the eyes of Dr

    Very cool additions, Ron. As always, I am very jealous. I've been eyeballing MADBALL on Camelot's website for awhile but can't get myself to pull the trigger on it due to price. $500, I think. They did have the other binding listed previously with the red boards, which I also liked, but it sold pretty quickly.
    So there are two different bindings within the limitation? I know he did that with a few (Tryon’s THE OTHER comes to mind), but didn’t realize he did that with MADBALL as well. Good to know. I take it then that the red-board variant is the scarcer of the two (or was it just priced more friendly by Camelot?)?

    It’s truly an interesting material that was used.
