Nice. Speaking of Tartarus, I received in the last few days my copy of their new one, LITERARY HAUNTINGS, which explores the real-life settings and buildings which inspired classic ghost tales, complete with photos. I think I’m going to really enjoy this one.

Excellent Ron, Camelot just told me, mine is on the way! Happy New Year!

Travelled to see our kids for Thanksgiving. No trip is complete unless I find an interesting Bookstore. Fortunately I stumbled on The Cactus Wren Book Exchange in Yucca Valley, CA. It was a neat little store, checked all of my Bookstore boxes and I found several neat books, including The Knightly Martial Arts by James Wallhausen.

LOVE LOVE bookstores that look like that.

Just a heads up Weird House Press is having their Mystery Box Sale. I did it last year and it was a pretty good deal, so I took a chance again this year. For your consideration. https://www.weirdhousepress.com/prod...f-surprises-2/

Ron, It's true. We're down to just a few in Richmond. That is why I search them out when we re on trips. This place was classic, Books piled everywhere, the owner knew where everything was, interesting customer interactions, had a grand time.

Mike, that bookstore looks like hours of fun! I miss the days when those Mom & Pop used bookstores like that one were plentiful...these days, especially in the areas like mine with high property values (and, thus, store rents), they're incredibly few and far between. All I have now within a 15-mile radius of me are a couple Half-Price Bookstores, and don't think I'm not grateful for at least having those. But I remember back in the '80s and '90s spending a solid Saturday bookstore-hopping, just going from one to another to another, all within a few miles of each. Man, those were the days, and I'm not sure I appreciated at the time just how special (and temporary) it was.

Congrats! Looks great.

Hi Guys, my Copy of Tailchaser's Song arrived today. I purchased it from Grim Oak Press during their holiday scratched and dinged sale. The only issue I see is a smeared stamp mark on the signature page, that is pretty minimal in my estimation. It is signed, but not numbered. I'm very pleased. Thanks for the great deal Grim Oak Press!

This is what came in the mail between Saturday and today. The "IT" and Pennywise were a raffle win, the Fracassi is signed from VJ books, and the card is the Deena Warner Halloween card.

I know we have some Sword of Shannara fans, so I wanted to share one of today's thrift store finds. I remember when this first came out and I think my original copy is packed up somewhere. The foldout by the brothers Hilderbrandt is really nice. SS1a.jpg

Not my thing, but I thought some of the more ardent Joe Hill fans might be interested in this new signed/numbered edition of Robert Louis Stevenson's The New Annotated Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde -- Numbered Edition, out of 250 — $150.00 Lettered Edition, out of 26 — $275.00:
