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!)

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"!
