    Love the look and feel of the slipcase.

    Thanks, Martin! And thanks again to you for keeping on top of all the past and present CD Grab bag info. Also, Brian or Dan, if you guys would please chime in here. In regards to the copy of Smoke and Mirrors that I received; would it be acceptable if wrote in "PC" where it's not stated or just leave it blank? I'd never write in a number or letter myself as I've expressed my opinion on that matter in a different thread. The main reason I'm asking is in case I sell it in the future or gift it and want everything to be on the up and up. Of course it's such a nice edition, I might have trouble letting it go!

    And the ones that totally got me stoked were the following King grabs!! Yes, I do have all of these but still, completely in awe that they were included:
    Revival 1st/1st with matching slipcase
    Doctor Sleep 1st/8th slipcased from Hodder & Stoughton
    The Dark Man slipcased trade still in shrink
    Battleground S/L #27
    Nice!

    1. December Park by Ronald Malfi (PC)

    3. The Straw Men by Michael Marshall (No signature page)
    4. Pure by Julianna Baggott (PC)
    5. World War Z by Max Brooks (PC)

    I didn't have any of these, wanted to buy World War Z but it was sold out so that's a big win. Wanted to buy Submerged but didn't want to pay the limited price before I read anything by the author. The other 3 look great too. Very happy with this.
    December Park was one of my top reads of 2015!

    Purchased two of the final grab bag for 2015:

    1. Fangoria Cover to Cover Trade Hardbound
    2. Murder 101 by Faye Kellerman 1st Edition Hardbound
    3. Bastion by Simon Clark Limited (Missing Signature Sheet)
    4. Kinsmen by Bill Pronzini Trade Hardbound
    5. The Language of Fear by Del James Signed Limited Edition
    6. Salome by Mick Garris Signed Limited
    7. The Prophet by Michael Kortya Signed Numbered PC
    8. John Dies at the End by David Wong Signed Numbered PC
    9. Submerged by Thomas Monteleone Signed Numbered PC
    10. The Twelve by Justin Cronin Signed Numbered PC

    I have a PC copy of The Passage so adding The Twelve is cool.

    A few duplicates but at over a 75% discount I can trade these at Powell's and make out fine.

    Paid $98.00 and received over $425.00 in books. Nice way to end the year!

    So I recently received two of the Cemetery Dance grab bags from the last offer, and here is what arrived. Most are signed, but some are not. A good haul, I think! A few of the signed ones are PC copies and so noted. If it wasn't signed then it obviously wasn't numbered either. I'm guessing the CD warehouse must have been bursting at the seams!

    Little Book of Ghost Stories and Ornery, by Rick Hautala and Ed Gorman, signed, from Borderlands Press (two separate books, small size hardcovers)
    Bastion, Simon Clark, unsigned
    Loveliest Dead, Ray Garton
    You Are Dead, by Peter James, trade hc
    Salome, Mick Garris, PC
    Cold Comforts, Crowther, #d/signed
    Femme, Pronzini, no dj with paste downs, trade edition
    Influence, Bentley Little, unsigned
    Fangoria: Cover to Cover, trade hc
    The Prophet, Koryta, PC
    Language of Fear, James, unsigned
    Brothers, Chizmar and Gorman, signed
    Pure, Julianna Baggott, PC

    So I think this is around $500 in books for around a $100 investment and all of these are in pretty good shape, so a pretty good deal! Happy holidays!
    I hope everyone else received nice stuff, too!

    The only thing that bums me out about the Sub Press 50 percent off sales is that they exclude lettered editions. I'm holding out hope that one day I'll get a lettered from them. If they release Swan Song, Mystery Walk, or Usher's Passing by McCammon I'm going to HAVE to get the lettered editions. That will also completely blow my budget and I'll probably sleep on the couch for a while, but it'll be worth it.

    Yeah, I've snagged a couple good'uns during their half off sales in the past. McCammon's They Thirst springs to mind.

    I agree about the Sub Press half price sale. I've picked up more than a few books when those roll around. Such a good deal!
