I know nothing about this but I love the look of it!

The Shining Girls by Lauren Beukes. This is a limited edition from South Africa. By my estimation this book traveled about 13,300 miles to arrive at my door.



A lock and key printed on the boards.


Fancy color endpapers.

Pretty good shape for travelling have around the world! Nice catch!

[Joe315]

Thanks. I asked the seller to wrap it tight in plenty of bubble wrap and thankfully they did. I am very happy it survived the transcontinental trip.

That's a good looking book. Glad to know I'm not the only one who's a sucker for packaging

[Joe315]

I'm almost neurotic about it. I hate ordering a book of any kind only to have it arrive in a thin envelope, especially overseas orders. Bubble wrap and a box don't cost much and I am perfectly comfortable paying the extra 2 bucks for it to be shipped safely.

[Ben Staad]

Great looking book. Glad it arrived safe and sound.

[TJCams]

That's pretty sweet. How did you find that one?

[Tommy]

Yeah Joe, have you got some sort of Spidey sense going on with cool books or what?

I saw the book online and it looked interesting so I started looking for signed copies and found that a collectors edition was being published in South Africa. I looked for it from an online retailer but the shipping was too much so I gave up on it. Then I happened to be on eBay and found a copy which shipped from the UK. I actually lost the auction but the seller had two copies and offered me the second one for my final bid.

I love when people have extra and offer it for my final bid. I have picked up some great books at well below cost that way.

[Joe315]

Two books I just got in today. First up UK S/L of Red Moon by Benjamin Percy, with fancy red page edges.

[Joe315]

And UK version of The Shining Girls by Lauren Beukes, also with neat endpapers.

[Joe315]

Got my signed copy of NOS4A2 today. Hill doodled a bit toward the top of the page. I like that he has a bunch of different doodles he uses.

[Theli]

Awesome! can't wait to get my copy, hopefully next week. I think that's first vampire O I`ve seen.

[Joe315]

Thanks. Same here regarding the O.
