Speaking of the wife, I requested another commission from Brian "Oktopolis" Miller - the guy who I got that Mouse Guard painting from. I needed to be fair and get her something too. I tried to slyly find out what she would want without actually telling her. The choices were basically between something from My Little Pony or something from Beauty and the Beast. I went with B&tB since we don't have a lot of art from that - but we do have tons of MLP stuff.
Here's what he came up with:

She's very excited about it. Plus since she's stuck at home, she was able to watch him create it live on his Twitch channel.

I know when I get the set, my instinct will be to start plowing through the stories, but Campbell isn't that kind of writer. You can shotgun King until you pass out, but Campbell requires slow sips to really savor those flavors.

Was the Ramsey Campbell set even officially offered, or did it sell out in some sort of pre-order reservation period? I remember hearing at some point that it was in the works, and then all of a sudden folks had copies of it. I’m wondering if I missed the order announcement, or...?Twitter: https://twitter.com/ron_clinton

I am pleased to post one of my Grails. Along with Dune, The Stars My Destination is one of my all time favorite Sci-Fi Novels. I have searched for a reasonably priced copy of this book for years. I thought I had found one a few years ago, but it turned out to be an ex-library book. Not mentioned in the listing of course, which seems to be a norm with some sellers. Anyway, I returned it and continued the hunt. Found this beauty last week. What a beautiful copy, near mint. Pictured along with the Gregg Press edition is the Franklin Watt’s 1987 edition.- Publication: The Stars My Destination
