I have a number of the above, but have to admit that I've no idea what that slim RAMBO volume is. Very curious...care to clarify?

Sure...it was published by The Mysterious Bookshop as part of their Mysterious Profile series. It's an essay by Morrell about how he came up with the character. It was limited to 100 signed copies. I also have the softcover version, which is unnumbered and not signed.

Nice. He's one writer whose works I need to explore. I've read First Blood and tried another I couldn't finish. Suggestions? Thanks.

The Brotherhood of the Rose trilogy is probably my favorite (The Brotherhood of the Rose, The Fraternity of the Stone, The League of Night and Fog). I also liked Burnt Sienna and The Spy who Came for Christmas and the Cavanaugh series of books. I've read all of his work. Some is good, some is meh, but I'm sure that's true with most authors.

Don't forget there is also a U.K. PRIME EVIL S/L.

I'll be darned...another one I don't have. What is this one??

Speaking of the BROTHERHOOD OF THE ROSE trilogy (which, I agree, is among his best): ELazansky, do you have the UK HC Brotherhood Omnibus? I've been after that one for a while, but the copies I find are either A). too expensive, or B). too poor of condition.

In the Shadow of the Master came with the lettered edition of Nightscape. I don't have the lettered, but I saw it on eBay many years ago and picked it up. It was flat-signed as well.

As for the Brotherhood Omnibus, yes I do:

It is tough finding a nice copy of that one. The pages are always a bit yellow. I went for the best copy I could get and I am fine with it.

I once had a question for Mr. Morrell after reading one of his books. I emailed him at his address on his website. We wrote me back a few hours later. He seems like a very nice guy.

Congrats on the omnibus; I hope to have one in my collection someday soon. As far as Morrell himself, I met and spoke with him at a signing a few years ago, and he certainly came off as a very personable, approachable, and friendly guy.
