My wife would be all over that one! She loves that kind of stuff. There was a show on Discovery or some channel like that a couple years back about microbiological diseases.

I'd change the channel right away!

I have several books like that and it never bothered me that they were like that. I can see your point though. Nice score. I too am waiting on another grab bag. That will be number 3 and that is enough for now. Though ebay sales wee great last week. If I change my mind on the SK from sub press I can afford a signed copy. Still not sure if I want that one or not.

Oh the rest of your books that you added look great. Sorry sometimes I get side tracked.

Thanks and no problem!

And theres no way I'm reading this one. I can handle zombies, ghosts, psycho killers, and evil clowns, but airborne viruses scare the shit out of me!

It's called deckled edges and something like 90% of the Shannara hardcovers have them. It's supposed to make them look like an older style of book. We where actually going to do it for one of our editions of something (can't remember what) but the printer told us they couldn't do it with all the tip in artwork.

Well, I could see it working with the high quality paper CD uses and actually looking cool. But on this one it just doesnt work.

I just couldn't remember what it was called. I was thinking "rough cut" or "pulp cut" was what I heard it called.

Well, I was kind of wondering that myself. But, its not very practical, the pages are bent and it doesn't look very good. I can't check in a book store if others are the same living outside the US and all. Anyone here seen a copy of this up close?

Oh, and I almost forgot, read this in practically one sitting:

That was done on purpose, I think.

It was hard to get a good shot of the problem, but some of the pages stick out more than the others, almost as if they were cut wrong...

However, the book has a physical flaw....

Nice score on the grab bag! And I've been looking at that Annotated SoS for a while (I just need to get past the 23rd tho.)
