This is the only place I can share this and not have people say WHAT!! LOL. I think I will frame some of the cooler flyers later on, so much neat information. Most are from the 70’s-early 80’s. I’ll post some more if Y’all are interested.

    Yeah, this kind of stuff is right in my wheelhouse! We'd love to see more photos!

      OK guys, I’m going to start posting some of the catalogs. The collection represents four decades of catalogs and ephemera, starting with Fall/Winter 1963 all from the F and S.J. Book Company of Staten Island NY, interestingly some of the catalogs don’t have zip codes. The second catalog is from summer 1964, next Fall 1964, Summer 1965 and finally Winter 1965/66. I can just imagine somebody sitting down to draw the covers, after spending hours at the typewriter. WOW!

          These are even more wonderful than I expected! There can't be many of the ones from the 1960s still in existence. I love this kind of ephemera!

            Not really a purchase but we have a beautiful two page letter from Harlan Ellison he sent us shortly after his 80th birthday which includes hand corrected mistakes. In the letter, he thanks us for our friendship (and favors) and writes we were one of the few he wanted to thank for his birthday acknowledgement.

            Yes, we miss him. Harlan was always very kind to us.

              Letters, paper sales flyers and mimeographed newsletters /fanzines , and other similar ephemera are becoming increasingly scarce in this age of emails and digital marketing...too bad future generations won’t have this kind of treasure trove from our era to revisit and preserve.

                I believe I saved every Donald Grant flyer that I got with my purchases.

                    That is something to cherish!

                      I do not still have everything I received but I believe I still have several of the old Cemetery Dance newsletter they used to send out.

                          The Forgotten Squadron: The 449th Fighter Squadron in World War II by Daniel Jackson. This World War II military history book is trippy. The features: Nice marbled endpapers, high resolution photos printed directly onto the inside sides (left front and right back) of the book plus the dustjacket's description of the book with the photos. In the middle of the book I found a huge bookmark from Schiffer Publishing Ltd. I got it from hamiltonbook.com I was curious why the lowest price was $29.95 + tax + shipping from hamiltonbook.com Now I know why. I'd been looking for a history of the Flying Tigers that was not a 300 + page book. While not a complete history of the Flying Tigers The Forgotten Squadron: The 449th Fighter Squadron in World War II may be adequate. I purchased a $5.99 DVD-R documentary on eBay supposedly about the Flying Tigers. That DVD-R was a disappointment.

                            I purchased By No Mortal Hand by Daniel McGachey. The cover art is really beautiful. I read that By No Mortal Hand is a fine example of Jamesian ghostly fiction and I thought what is Jamesian ghostly fiction? I know now. I did read the author's collection from Dark Regions Press - They That Dwell In Dark Places and loved that book. Below is the cover to By No Mortal Hand. ~Cap
