Dark Discoveries/ James Beach's mostly CD collection

[darkdiscoveries]

Here's some shots of some of my CD books. Had more in the past but had to sell some to keep Dark Discoveries going, etc. (There's a few I sure wish I had back now!). Came pretty close to having most of the titles they put out at one point (and that's a lot!!!)

Love what I see here, James.
So many books I've never seen before.

There's enough for now. A few other publisher's books mixed in. Still in the process of organizing better (yes I know books in front of books - that was the way it all was before - 6 bookcases full of double rows!!!)

Yeah, a big mess of books Frik (LOL)! I sold off the lettered CD's I had and a number of earlier ones sadly when money was needed (sometimes eating and paying the bills can be more important than having stuff sitting around). Now I often read them and if I don't think i'm ever going to read it again then it gets traded or sold. It's a good way to get more new stuff to read though.

Even after reading thousands and thousands of submissions for the magazine I publish, reading hundreds of thousands of books, mags, etc. since I was a kid I never lose my love of reading.

Very nice, see a few I definitely want. Had been trying to get a copy of Keene's Scratch at a decent price, but it always went past what I could afford or was willing to pay when I tried. Luckily that story will be included in his anthology book coming with Maelstrom set 2

Sweet collection and thanks for sharing. I'm originally a PA guy so now I need to check out "The number 121 to Pennsylvania" by Kealan Patrick Burke. I never heard of that one before.

Why I do believe I see Ketchum's "The Transformed Mouse" in there. And nothing wrong with double stacking as long as you know or can see what's behind the first row.

Great stuff!

Nice collection! Too bad you had to sell some of your books.

Yes it is THE TRANSFORMED MOUSE. Good eye! I had two extra copies of the clothbound ones but sold those and kept this leatherbound one. It's a fantastic little book with the little wrap-around mouse tail, japanese rice papers, high quality text paper, signed by Ketchum, Nancy Collins and woodcut artist and book designer George Walker. I guess Biting Dog had some problems with the binders and they ran out of the felt material used on about 100 of them and then bound 75 copies in leather and the last 75 in cloth (only 250 were done). Only the 100 felt ones were actually numbered. We did a feature of the book way back in issue #2 of Dark Discoveries magazine with interviews with Jack Ketchum (Dallas) and artist George Walker and an article on the book.

Space definitely became an issue and as I published more copies of DD and started getting a lot of review copies, books from trades with other publishers, etc. it got out of hand. I work up on my dining room table now because my office became completely full of books, magazines, record albums, etc. Slowly starting to get it more organized after continuing to clear stuff out and organize.

I've got more copies of books by CD, NEP, Delirium, Bloodletting, Arkham, etc. behind other books so i'll probably post a few more interesting things again soon. It's fun to share it with others and I like seeing other people's stuff as well.
