        Congrats — you’ll be very pleased, as it’s a beautiful production.

          So far after wearing the brace for about two days, I don't notice it doing anything while on, but I can definitely tell it was doing something when I don't wear it.
          You're covered (or uncovered) under HIPPA. You can't be asked about your absence of pants in the workplace. Probably would only apply while wearing the brace though

            I should have known you would already have one!

            Too bad I have to wait until Christmas to actually hold it.

              It's worth the wait. Some of the cool factor about this book goes beyond the tangible stuff -- layout, design, cover art, rarity, etc. -- is that it is (as far as I'm aware) the very first limited appearance of Repairman Jack, and if you're like me and enjoy the series character, having and holding that bit of genre history of one of its foremost protagonists is pretty neat.

                Yes I love RJ. F Paul Wilson is a great guy.

                  Just picked up Sam Weller's Dark Black a collection of Short Stories. Weller is probably best known as Ray Bradbury's biographer.

                    I believe it was on Wednesday (time in 2020 is an illusion . . .) that my anniversary present from my wife arrived.

                    When this book was announced, I gave serious thought to buying it, but ultimately passed because of the expense at the time was hard to justify, and I already have two other versions.

                    To say I was surprised that she bought this for me as a present would be quite the understatement. I was almost speechless.

                    This is the mustard edition of Stardust from Lyra's Books. I was given the option of choosing either the blue or mustard, but went with the mustard for a few reasons. I think it looks really cool. It's a beautiful production and one I'm proud to have and ecstatic that my wife tracked one down for me.

                        Congratulations! I agree about the mustard edition; it is really cool looking.

                              Stardust looks very nice. The speckling is cool and the marbling and orange/mustard looks very sharp. Congrats!

                                In the pre-order photos, I greatly preferred the blue to the mustard. But having both in hand, the mustard really looks great in person.
