Congratulations! That’s a HUGE add! I know you’ve been looking for one for a while and it looks like you found a beautiful copy. Hope it didn’t cost you both an arm AND a leg, because those bad boys are not cheap if and when you can find one. Must be nice to have that bad boy on the shelf!

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 soOriginally posted by mhatchett View PostWhat a great Newsletter this week. I'm really looking forward to Charles L. Grant/Robert Chambers/M.R. James MOWT! Of course, talk of another Bradbury title is very exciting. Powers of Darkness sounds very interesting....

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

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?)?Originally posted by Sock Monkey View PostVery 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.

I absolutely agree with you all about Nakatomi's CYCLE OF THE WEREWOLF portfolio. I don't know why, but at the time of the kickstarter, there was some bitching about it at the DT.org forums. Can't remember why. Price, I think. I also picked this up on one of their half price sales years ago, and I still consider it one of my favorite "bargains". It's a lovely presentation with the prints on thick, beautiful paper, signed & numbered by Wrightson on a full-size limitation sheet, including nicely printed lunar calendar and chapbook of Wrightson art. In a nice box, too! I even sprung for the (regular, wall-hanging) calendar, and fossil pin- both very nice quality. Really, it's one of my favorite packages.Originally posted by Dave1442397 View Post
That is a nice set. I picked one up during a 50%-off sale too. I think I paid $75.
And, yes- A Centipede CYCLE would be amazing. It's one of those projects- perfect melding of concept, story and art- that needs a great package. Yeah, Chris Zavisa did a great job on it all those years ago, but- it's time for a another edition!

THE TENANT went up today:Originally posted by RonClinton View PostYesterday I received two new older Centipede HC titles that have up 'til now escaped me, so I'm thrilled to finally add them to my collection. The two titles are the signed & numbered HCs of THE TENANT by Roland Topor (signed by Thomas Ligotti (intro.)) and MADBALL by Fredric Brown (signed by Dick Adler (intro.)). I hope to have pics of both up on Twitter within the next week.

That would be awesome!
I think I've posted this before - but Nakatomi did a really sweet portfolio of Wrightson's work from Cycle of the Werewolf - https://store.nakatomiinc.com/cycleo...tfolioset.aspx - I snagged one a few years ago during a Black Friday sale at 50% off (I they've raised the price since then too.) It's really well done. They also have quite a few really nice prints of his work that I'm always tempted to buy.
ETA: It does look like the Kickstarter price on these prints was $175, and their store eventually sold them for $200 - https://www.nakatomiinc.com/2017/03/...now-available/ - I think I paid either $100 or $150, so a bargain compared to today's price. Plus there was a really sweet wooden box version - https://www.nakatomiinc.com/2016/10/...ition-in-hand/
