Looks really good, like the artwork! Can't wait for mine! I'm thinking maybe it'll get here around Monday or Tuesday...

The story blurb didn't grab me. It's something I might pick up on a day when I've nothing else I want to do, but I've got a few of the PS grab bag books that I'd pick up before that. I'm not complaining. 3 out of 4 books aint bad for a grab bag.

Yea I was just being curious. I personally can't say much I don't actually read hardly anything we publish, but lack of time for reading as well as the fact that I don't really do much horror play into that.

Squire, some months ago we were admiring the Bantam limited (?) A Game of Thrones.
You got yourself a copy, others did as well.
Now I was wondering if the rest of this series was ever released as similar editions. I've been trying to find them, but no luck anywhere.
Would you happen to know?

Oops - this is one huge pictue - sorry!

I asked the book sellers about that at my local Barnes and Noble and there are no plans for it .Which is too bad. There are extra copies of GoT selling for 15.00 in store.

Actually, I was looking into these yesterday as I have Game of Thrones from Bantam as well. Bantam seems to have screwed up, but Harper and Voyager have gone through and published the set up to the last installment. They look pretty much exactly like the Bantam version Siep. You can pick them up here, free worldwide shipping too.

Thanks for the info, Pete.
Actually, I ordered A Storm of Swords a couple of days ago, at Amazon.co.uk. It's cheaper, plus Amazon is also offering free shipping to my country.
When I received A Clash of Kings at the beginning of this week, it turned out to be a second printing.
Hope Storm will be a first!

I's thought I'd try to get back in the swing of things on this forum with a posting of some new stuff. Everybody's seen these by now.

One of these days, I'm gonna try to send one of these round for the CD winners to sign.

And I made my "O" face when this one arrived!

It's a purported found manuscript by Lafcadio Hearn. "The Story of Mimi-nashi Hōichi" was one of my favorite stories of Hearn's; "Oichi the Earless" (based on the stroy) was the centerpiece of the 1965 movie Kwaidan, so I had to get this when Dan said it was available. Haven't been able to dive into this one yeat, but I will. It gave me a 40/80coupon too!

Not the first Lettered Edition I bought from CD, but the first I've received.

[peteOcha]

Wow, congrats on the lettered Squire!! Seems like as of late you've been quite the spender!

[Teriw]

Welcome back.

Great stuff. Hope all is well. It's seemed quiet here while you were gone.

No, I've been running up paypal. This was one that I thought hard about getting during the surplus sale, but didn't buy. I debated a couple of days on the lettered and finally PMed Dan. The only other lettered I ordered fro CD was The Dropper--and that one is probably won't be coming for a while. It's a BEE-AY-YOU-TE-FULL edition!

I know, sorry about that. I just have so much to catch up on now. It's gonna take me some time. Catching up on 2 weeks of posts from you guys is pretty crazy!

[srboone]

Welcome back.

Thanks, Teri. I missed y'all.

[frik51]

Glad you're back, Squire.
And love that lettered edition you posted.
I've never read Chet Williamson, but going by what I see here, maybe I should!
