Ok, it's nothing fancy; picked it up at the library today, but since I'm a huge Smiths fan it felt like winning the lottery. Didn't even know this book existed.
I wanted to read the original version of the stand and couldn't fine any online so I stopped at a half price books while I was out and fortunately they had a copy.
I also saw a shrink wrapped copy of Duma Key. Was that what was done when it first came out?
Went to library, found Charles de Lint's "Jack of Kinrowan" for sale. Yay. Even if I have something of his, I'll buy it in different format if I find it. But I didn't have this one yet, so +1.
Love those library sales.I got my pb copy of the original stand there.Always seem to find something of interest and it helps the local library so everyone wins.
I got a copy of Desperation to go with The Regulators. I ordered this off ebay since it was cheap. It was also shrink-wrapped which I thought was interesting. At $9 including shipping I took the risk of it not being a first printing since at the very least it would be a nice reading copy. Turned out to be a first printing and is in really nice shape, pretty much brand new.
EDIT: I think this is a BCE. oh well, I just have a nice reading copy now.
In the Spirit of the Holiday! Haunted Air is just a great creepy, fun, odd, collection of Halloween Photographs. Trick or Treat, need I say more and Best Served Cold, Joe Abercrombie, Sub Press one of my favorite modern fantasy writers. Thanks to Amazon and Camelot Books. Happy Halloween everybody. MDH
I have a few new Stephen King proof items, but I can't post any pictures yet. My old computer died (the power supply went out) and I had to get a new computer. The scanner I have doesn't work with the new one, which has Windows 7, so I have to go get a new scanner sometime soon.

Whenever I buy books from the library, I always flip through them, thinking wouldn't it be cool if I found some odd piece of paper or some other strange thing left behind by someone, and tonight I actually found something. I was looking through Neil Peart's "Ghost Rider" and found a Ticketmaster ticket for a Rush concert in 2002 in Milwaukee. Not used. I thought that was pretty cool (although I would have preferred a lotterly ticket!)
