    And last, but certainly not least is The Straw Men by Michael Marshall. Another beautiful lettered edition from CD. The introduction is great and the scans of the author's notes are endlessly fascinating (at least to me! )

      Very nice adds. I see we have another author who just scribbles instead of actually signing the books. Still I am very impressed with the end paper's of the lettered editions.

        Compared to Scott Smith, this signature is a novella of its own.

              Very cool remarque and lettered edition of Straw Men. They sure make some smart looking books!

                Thanks! The remarques offered by Thunderstorm are cool. They aren't super-elaborate or anything, but they only cost ten bucks so they add some fun and flavor for small cost.

                The Straw Men lettered is one of my favorites, though A Simple Plan in the white leather is such an eye-catching book.

                              So do I. I love the distinct looks of each of their book lines and the little tweaks on each book; the different endpapers on each Black Voltage is a blast. The only downside is that their books aren't cheap. Not counting the chapbook line, their cheapest is the printed-on-boards version of the Elemental line for $30, but I think that version is going the way of the dodo. I prefer the leather version which runs about $60-$65. Their Black Voltage books are now up to $80. Couple that with how many books they publish--six in January/February combined--its hard to be a completist while on a budget. So I have to pick and choose what I get. Of course, if that's the worst of my problems, then I can't complain too much!

                                Sometimes the book gods smile down upon you and you stumble across a book you've been trying to track down for a while and you get it at an awesome price. That's what happened with the latest acquisition, which I normally see go in the $150-$250 range. I was able to swoop this up off Ebay for $25!
