Originally posted by Sock Monkey View PostThe second book is one that I've been searching for and finally grabbed it at a decent price: the signed limited of Deadman's Road by Joe Lansdale. This has been on my want list for years so I'm happy to finally have secured a copy for my collection.
I did something similar yesterday with a Lansdale book - I threw a couple of bids at it and then forgot to check the auction at the last minute but still ended up with the book. Scored a signed hardcover copy of Private Eye Action. I got a really nice paperback version a few weeks ago, but the hardcover was a bit more elusive - the price was always a bit too high for my comfort.

Originally posted by jeffingoff View PostI just got my first SST book--Paradise Sky by Lansdale. Of course I did an unboxing video. I love the production. And I think the price was modest for what I received. I bought it direct from SST and shipping wasn't that bad. And it was incredibly fast. Got my shipping notice on the 5th and received the package on the 11th. Faster than I'd expect for international anyway.
I can't wait to read it.

There was some discussion over in Martin's thread about checks and it got me to thinking about this question. When is the last time you guys have actually written out a personal check for anything? I'll go first.
2013. Between the purchase of our 1st and 2nd home, we rented for a bit. I could have set up a payment to my landlord via online banking but, she insisted on a personal check each and every month by the 5th. Outside of that, I think I stopped writing checks sometime in the early 2000s, if not sooner.
