The Author was promoting this book on Sirius and it intrigued me enough to search it out. Barnes and Noble still had autographed copies.

This one looks very interesting. It has one of those undersized dust jackets which I have never liked.

Time for an update on a few new receipts.
Found myself near the Beaverton Powell's and need some Brodart so I stopped in. They were only allowing a few in at a time which resulted in a wait to get in but shopping the store was very comfortable. Encountered some books that had been defaced by a local author so I took one off their hands.

This was an unexpected gift from a member here. I am very intrigued by this and look forward to checking it out soon:

This one probably has the wrong title. It should be Trump: In His Own Words as probably 2/3 of the book are directly quoting interviews with Trump:

An informative work from Woodward but he does state his personal feelings in the afterword, which he probably should not have done.

That framing is pretty sweet looking.

The more I look at it, the more I like it. Will probably keep it in the frame but am not sure about placement in the house though.

Nice adds. I have not seen that copy of The Stand . Think Ill probably pass thanks to your review of it

I had actually heard good things about the Barnes and Noble editions and it was only $25.00. I think I understand now why the store copies are always shrink wrapped.

I decided to see what the Revival prints look like framed so I swapped out A Pennywise print I had framed for this one. I included the guitar pick. If I decide to keep this one framed I will center it better.

It is October so apparently it is the month to get orange books.

Added A Little Orange Book of Obsessions by Blake Crouch to my tissue copy of The Stand:DSC_0380.JPGDSC_0381.JPGDSC_0382.JPG

I'll have to check mine.

Noticed an interesting difference today in the two Revival art portfolios I received.

The first one I received has a nice little remarque with the artist signature. Thought it was cool but assumed he did it on all the portfolios.

I realized the second portfolio I received did not contain the remarque. Now I am left to wonder how many have this and are there other drawings.

And no one ever beat Martin again!

My internet speed has served me well!

Actually it was more 'Who the hell beat me?'. I never did figure that one out. I have improved my internet speed just in case they offer this again!

That B&N edition of The Stand features the new "efficient experience" paper that allows you to read pages without turning them. Just read straight through the paper! I do think the endpaper design is cool. Thanks for taking the bullet for us on this purchase. I was tempted to buy it myself. Now I won't.

Also, I kept picturing Brian James Freeman handing you your CDCC Card and telling you "You are number Two."
And you replying,"I am not a number! I am a FREE MAN!"
And then BJF saying, "No, dude, I am Freeman . . ."
