I just picked up a copy of S/L From a Buick 8 and GE of FDNS. Working towards getting caught up with all of the SK CD books. It's a nice collector goal.

[Highbury]

That is a sharp Maberry book!

And also nice haul Bugen on the CP books, very tempting to go after despite currency exchange rate and shipping.

[bugen]

That is a killer Maberry... very enticing.

Thanks Highbury, and these books are sweet. Though I'm sure a far cry from the Masters of the Weird Tale books, of which I have exactly none. Good cloth, paper feels great, a few black and white photos each. great cover art, but no real bells otherwise (embossed cover, I guess). I can say they are high enough quality that when you're reading them, you are well aware you're not reading a book, but rather a production, much like the more expensive titles in their lineup.

Smack me for this one, but for some reason I do miss the nice endpapers.

Very,nice, Mike. I'll have to look at Mayberry, never heard of him.

[bugen]

Arrived today. I've read pretty much none of these (besides Beowulf), but am really looking forward to both

I am so jealous! Are those EP books? I know they released a nice volumes Medieval myth and lore recently that I missed out on.

[bugen]

Yep, these are the EP releases. To complement them I've got Myths of Greece and Rome on order, but am actually having some difficulty receiving it. Hope to have a new plan for that book by tomorrow... the 3 together are going to make a pretty sweet set of legends. Can't wait to dive into them.

Being broke doesn't matter if you've already got the book!

[Theli]

Haha! Yeah I wish I could have grabbed them. I love Easton's products, just beautiful and I am a bit of a myth and folklore fan. A lot would be repeats, but it would be nice to get a high quality printing. Congrats on the nice grabs! Hopefully I'll have the chance to grab them in the future.

[srboone]

Great Adds! I have that catalog. But the funds....

[bugen]

Thank you guys. I'm a big fan of Easton products. It's interesting, since my first book of theirs purchased from eBay (Ender's Game!), I've run into so many haters, but I feel EP is the king of their particular niche. Their business model needs a serious update, though, as high-quality specialty presses are leaving them in the dust in areas like shipping and order fulfillment. I kid you not, I'm hovering somewhere around a 60% success rate with all EP orders. My Myths of Greece and Rome is supposed to be free to make up for how many times I've been screwed over, and I give them a lot of credit for this, but it's all a moot point if I never actually receive the book.

Will post a pick when I receive Myths of Greece and Rome. (See, I'm keeping the faith!)

[Theli]

Yeah they are really behind in the time. Ordering to Canada is nye impossible, and the packaging on the book I did order direct from them was atrocious! But I love their products. They are just well made handsome bindings. And I love the streamlined leather style. EP books just look nice on the shelf.

[bugen]

So... I'll take this down if it doesn't qualify, and arguments can certainly be made. But I wanted to share with you guys the latest awesomeness, received from work yesterday:
