Just a few adds. The Gorman set I picked up from Camelot Books. The Blackburn books, Scent of New-Mown Hay and Bury Him Darkly are from Centipede Press.

I debated those Blackburn books. His work has all the hallmarks of fiction that I should enjoy…yet the two I’ve read by him in the past have left me a bit cold, their style too formal, too distant in voice, perhaps, to really click. Not really sure why, given that such stylistic obstacles don’t normally create such a firewall for me. But I’m not ready to throw in the towel…I suspect my prior choices have simply been poorly selected. So I’m very likely going to take the Blackburn plunge – past experiences be damned – and am fairly confident I’ll be rewarded for doing so, because, again, his stuff *should* be right up my alley…
Glad to see Ed Gorman get some love...his work -- especially his short fiction -- is incredible.

Thanks, everyone! I'm pretty happy with my addition!
mhatchett, I'm super-jealous of those Gorman books. That's a nice looking set and now that I've seen a picture, I'm tempted to pick-up my hunting for one of my one. Congrats on the Blackburn books. I wound up passing due to monetary constraints and I was not completely sold on the cover art. I feel like I might be missing out on some good reads though as they both sound right up my alley.

I have three of those coming (ordered waaaay back in July . . . . of 2016 . . .) and I don't remember which books I got them for. Guess I'll figure that out when they arrive.

Originally posted by bugen View PostBoth lettered Scott Smith books fit. They're just a tad tight top and bottom, but still slide fairly easily. They also don't quite fill out the width of the slipcase but are close--The Ruins has a bit more room on the sides. Here's a quick pick:

I know there was practical, financial reasons for the decision, but is anyone else bummed that CD isn't offering lettered editions that much anymore?

Fritz Leiber in the house! Swords and Deviltry came in yesterday. Beautiful book, art is great and size-wise it's perfect. Read the introduction, fantastic. Another out of the park book from Centipede. And the price point is dead on, in my opinion. I also added two cool paperbacks to my vintage paperback collection.
