Post Your Latest Purchase

Not my latest purchase, but I kept meaning to show off.

During one of the more recent CD auctions, they had a hardcover copy of Harlan Ellison's Essential Retrospective (35year version.) Price was a bargain (IMHO) and because an even better bargain when it arrived:

Great addition!

Very nice! I like surprises like that.

I was lucky enough to snag an S/L of the 50-yr edition from Harlan's library. Jason comes across some gems that have been hidden away, and puts them up for sale here: https://www.harlanellisonbooks.com/shop/

I went through an Ellison phase a few years ago and was able to get a number of signed editions. Then I started getting priced out and after his passing, I kind of gave up looking for signed editions. This one was an awesome surprise. Hopefully RC doesn't see this post and say "oops, can I have that one back?"

Nice Harlan Ellison collection. He was a friend of the family and we miss him and his wife Susan.

That's a good one. I have the trade paperback edition. I finally had to get it after running across quite a few recommendations.

This’ll be my first time reading it. I held off for years on the tpb I’d run across repeatedly at used bookstores, hoping someday I’d snag this beautiful Sub Press edition. Hopefully the wait will have been worth it.

I wish I could have read it in Spanish. It is an all time favorite. The Ninth Gate is sort of based on the book.

Though I hear the book is vastly better than the Depp movie. I actually think I've seen the movie, but the fact that I can't remember much, if anything, about it probably says it all.

I enjoyed the movie as a stand alone effort vaguely related to the book.

Yesterday (during a small snowstorm) my wife and I decided to watch a throwback movie and kickback a little. Funny enough, it was The Gate we watched.

Now I visit here, and that's the conversation. Too funny.

As mentioned already, it's loosely related to the book, but does stand on it's own. If you've never read The Club Dumas, I recommend it.

Received in a trade edition of The Shipbuilder of Bellfairie by M. Rickert from Undertow Press. It's a nice looking trade book and I was surprised that it was flat-signed by the author.

The publisher was nice enough to find me a PC copy of this. Never bought from them before but it's a nice looking production.Book has a gnarly corner bump. I'm assuming that happened in transit.

Not sure why the attached file keeps showing up. I cannot seem to make it go away.
