I thought that was pretty cool (although I would have preferred a lotterly ticket!)
    I love finding hidden treasures like that. I have found lots of neat pictures over the years. I love used books. Good hunting.

      Now that I have my new scanner, here are some new proofs I've gotten:

      A Book of Horrors (The Liitle Green God of Agony):



      Scars, by Richard Christian Matheson (Introduction):



      And a complete set of printers proofs of Cell:

      Title page:



      Page 13:



      This latter may also be called blue lines. According to the seller, there were no more than 20 of these done. Most, I assume, were used by the printer and destroyed.

              Thanks for the reminder on book of horrors. Been meaning to get that one. I believe PS still has a few copies if they still do anyway...that was a week or two ago that I checked.

                  Tell me about it! I need to save to pay for the new place and furnish it and all, but I am so tempted to join you in being "irreponsible"!

                    Good Evening All and Sundry,
                    Just got my Cornell Woolrich books from Centipede Press. Fanfriggintastic!!! Great artwork, solid, solid Books. My favorite Noir fantasy guy Joe Abrecrombie's new book Red Country ended up on my doorstep! Happy November to me.
