Don't tell my wife how much I spent.

I had to laugh at this. I had similar sentiments when I purchased CP's edition of Frankenstein.

Anyone pre-order Gila! this weekend? I couldn't resist! Have never heard of it before, but it looks like tons of pulpy fun!

I did. I have the entire Vintage Horrors series and I wasn't about to stop with this one! It's a great service reprinting this one, too, as that in its original pbo edition tends to go for a good bit on the secondary market.

EDIT: Also just picked up a couple books from Sub Press's Dinged Sale (the Block and Gallagher). Looks like it'll be like Christmas in July -- er, June -- this year.

Sweet! Very jealous that you have the whole Vintage Horror set! I stupidly passed on "The Gas" and it seems to have tripled to quadrupled in price each time I happen to go looking for a copy. One day perhaps...

I also took advantage of that small dinged-sale from Subpress. I grabbed the Gallagher and the Shepherd. I had my eye on each of them when they were announced but ended up passing. At these dinged prices, there was no way that I could pass again! Christmas in July indeed.

I didn't know the pb for this was in such high demand. It's crazy to see how much these offbeat paperbacks go for now. I really wish Jerad would do Teddy by John Gault which was the basis for the cult 1981 film The Pit. That ones goes for way more than I'm willing to pay for it.

Anyways, I'm in for Gila! as well. Looks like a bonkers good time and the price point is under $100, so I'm happy.

Yes, ever since Grady Hendrix's wonderful PAPERBACKS FROM HELL started the craze, a lot of those horror mmpb pbos that used to be plentiful at used bookstores and go for a couple bucks on eBay now demand high dollar. I was fortunate enough to collect them before Hendrix's book (and forecasting the issue, doubled my efforts shortly after its release) so that I now have 700, 800 of the things...I'd never want to spend the $$$ that would be required now to replace them all.

I passed, but I did get the kindle edition for free with points on Amazon I will be buying Mindswap next week. I know I've read it before (and probably have the paperback in the house somewhere), but this will be a nice edition and I remember enjoying it back in the day.

Hadn't heard of Mindswap before this week's Centipede newsletter. Nor sure if it will be for me as I keep seeing its humor mentioned in reviews and also saw someone compare it to Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy which I didn't enjoy. Maybe the production values or Paul's description of the book will sway me.

I had the same reaction. I tried Sheckley's MoSF volume (or whatever that series is called) from Centipede and was kind of lukewarm about it and ended up selling it. Then reading the synopsis and reviews of MINDSWAP and seeing that it's a '60s-era humorous SF romp, it just isn't for me. Maybe Fredric Brown can get away with that for me, but that's about as much of an allowance forf sixty-year old fiction humor as I'm able to give, I'm afraid.

Just received my copy of Gila! That dustjacket is so much fun! Wasn't expecting the backflap to have that additional art! Can't wait to read this soon.

Just got both of my books from SubPress and couldn't find any dings. The covers looked perfect, and they had the signed signature sheets. Can't believe these were returned!

Mine are being delivered within the hour (our area seems to be among the last stops of our postman), and hope mine are as in similarly stellar condition.

My GILA! arrived a couple days ago as well...as always with Centipede, it looks great!

EDIT: …and my Sub Press dinged copies, too, are stellar!

I got tge three books i ordered from the dinged sale on Thursday and I've yet to see anything other than some slightly folded edges on my copy of Bradbury Weather....
