Beautiful book. Not to mention a heck of a deal.

Here's another lettered edition: The Prophet by Michael Koryta. I was not necessarily in the market for a copy of the lettered edition as I have the signed limited and just haven't had a chance to read it...BUT two things occurred: 1. I absolutely love the non-traycased lettered editions that CD does (I like the traycased lettereds as well, but this version edges it out slightly) and 2. I got it for a stinking steal. I won it on Ebay for $25 with free shipping. For that price, I couldn't NOT add it to my collection.

Well, to be fair, Little seems to only be a miss with me. I'm the only one making it divisive here! But that is one beautiful book, regardless!

How dare you have your own opinions and not like what everybody else likes?! Honestly, I think Little is a divisive author in general; one either gets his work and goes for the ride, or just doesn't. For me, I like his stuff enough when it hits that I'm willing to trudge through the stuff that doesn't.

If memory serves, I think it was THE MAILMAN that Jeff read and, to put it kindly, didn't like. Given that that novel is pretty representative of Little's style and eerie and surrealistic bent and is one of his better novels, he just oddly enough doesn't seem to be Jeff's thing.

In that case I retract my statement and acknowledge my memory is shot!

Not trying to send you back to Mr. Little but The Mailman is my favorite Little read and a great story!

Last but not least: The Mailman by Bentley Little. Mr. Little is divisive on the forum and I find his work rather hit-or-miss, but when it hits I like it quite a bit.
