Centipede will be releasing.....

[Chuggers]

All Centipede titles have the signature page (if it has one) at the rear of the book.

Thanks Ron! I guess I didn't notice that ladt year when I read Hell Candidate.

Just finishing up my reading of Centipede's outstanding edition of Feesters In The Lake by Bob Leman....and have found the signature page at the end of the book. It didn't impress upon me at all as I started reading as the beginning of the book is biographical information and introductions that I planned to return to after the stories. Very odd, were they all printed this way?

I Love Eugene Izzi. He wrote some great heist novels and died a fittingly mysterious death!

Yeah, I read all his books back in the day. I'm sure I still have some in the attic. He was good!

Yep, I've read all sorts of theories -- suicide, publicity stunt or acting out a plot point gone wrong, loanshark/mafia payback, etc. -- but I suppose it'll always remain a very intriguing (if tragic) mystery.

I read a lot of his short stories back in the day, and I always liked his sense of humor.

This pic shows a box of books that were packed up in 1989 and left unopened at my parents' house until 2019, when I found it again.

I took a few of them home with me, including the Sheckley Omnibus, but most went to the local charity store - they weigh too much to bring back to the US these days.

Nice to hear a positive review for the new Sheckley. My enthusiasm dampened a little when I start seeing some so-so reviews about it.

Yes, I've never read anything by her that I know of, but $40 for 800+ pages is a heckuva deal.

I bought the Sheckley book too (Mindswap) and it was a good read. I probably read it back in the '80s or early '90s, and I didn't remember a thing about it. I can see why some people wouldn't like it, but I found it a fun piece of social commentary.

Great deal over the last two days for the Pamela Sargent volume of Masters of Science Fiction. I'm not familiar with Sargent's work, but $50 is hard to beat. Probably one of the reasons why the signed copies are all gone! I love extravagant books and all, but, man, kinda feeling like we need the pendulum to swing back a little to some more reasonably priced editions.

I saw this too and was blown away by the price. I'm sure it was a one-off, but I wouldn't mind seeing this trend continue!

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!

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....

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!

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.

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.
