    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?)?

        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

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

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

              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

                    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!

                      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.

                        What's the remaining title?

                          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.

                            Yeah, both of those are pretty hard to find. I mean, you can get them at Camelot, but THE FAR CRY is a cool grand. THE PLASTIC NIGHTMARE is reasonable in comparison at $495, but those are both at the high end of the market price. Older Centipede Press books are popping up with a little more frequency in the aftermarket now, so I'm sure that these will turn up. Hopefully at a price that fits your budget!

                              Thanks -- from your lips to the Book Gods ears. I try not to kick myself for passing on them initially -- I have the Black Lizard paperbacks, I thought, why do I need another edition? -- but it gets tough when the books are so damned expensive now. Ah well, live and learn.

                                Hi Everybody, Hope you are having nice Easter Monday. A friend of mine over at the Centipede Press Collectors page, Logan Giannini, put in a lot of work to compile of list projected upcoming Centipede releases. Some of this is based on Science (SWAG), so on wishful thinking, Wild Ass Rumor (WAR) and some is base on legit info. Enjoy as you will! I certainly see some titles I would love to add to my collection. I'm looking at you Charles L. Grant!!
