Anybody know if it is possible to get older dust jackets for hardcovers? I ask because I just received a HC copy (first printing it looks like) of de Felitta's The Entity, however it came without a dust jacket. Got this via thriftbooks,and the condition was listed as acceptable. Any thoughts?

It's pretty difficult / impossible, unless the book is from a small press (like us) that have a hoarding problem.

These guys do replica dust jackets, but only for books published before 1976. I haven't seen anyone else do this. http://www.facsimiledustjackets.com/

I prefer to think of it as a hoarding talent!!!

Thanks for this - sadly it doesn't look like they have what I need/want.

Happy 4th to all and Sundry! Spending a rainy day weeding the collection. I've got three boxes together to take down and trade. Going to have to do more of this as I head toward retirement. Just wanted to post something I picked up the other day. I was and am, a fan of Warren Publications, especially Famous Monsters, Creepy and Erie. We used to plan Halloween costume's based on what we saw printed in these great horror magazines. We never achieved perfection but we sure had a lot of fun trying!

KC getting hammered with wind and rain tonight. My neighbor called me at 3:30 am (she's up at that time anyway and knows I work nights, but I wonder what her boyfriend would say if he knew she was calling me at that time--he hates me as it is.) and told me one of the trunks of the tree in my front yard fell over my driveway. There were five, but one fell back in 2011 and hit my attic. Now there's three. So now I have to park on the street--at a time when lots of construction vehicles on cleanup detail will be going through my neighborhood.

Sigh...

That sucks. Good luck with the cleanup. We've been lucky in that nothing has done serious damage to our house, just a broken window and a bent gutter, but having all these 60-year-old trees around can be scary.
