Love all of those. That's quite a signature of Bentley Little.

Definitely big and bold.
That slipcase is really nice! And I've never heard of Tony Richards or that book, but I want it just because of the cover. That is great!Originally Posted by RC65

Was the JOYLAND slipcase from The Collector? I missed that one.
I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.
And the people bowed and prayed, to the cell phone god they made...
Yes, it was...glad to have it. :-)
This morning's batch:
This Vol. II joins my Vol. I:
Having #1 is always fun:
A few odds and ends:
Hey -- a King-related item!
I also have the aftermarket slipcase for this one, but it isn't shown here:
This one has a pretty cool back jacket cover:

I'll end with some more Centipede goodness, both by Gresham (matching numbers, I think):
More cool adds! Seems like you know your crime fiction well enough, how is Lawrence Block? And where to start with his work?
I enjoy Block a great deal. I'm not much of a series guy, so prefer his standalones, and have read just about all of them. That said, I do love his Keller series (HIT MAN, HIT LIST, etc.) as I'm a fan of both hitman and antihero protagonists, so that series hits all the right buttons. If you want to sample his standalones, several of his early Hard Case Crime reprints are the place to start (plus they're easy to find), namely GRIFTER'S GAME and THE GIRL WITH THE LONG GREEN HEART...those two are, IMO, the best of his HCC reprints. His short stories are outstanding as well -- ENOUGH ROPE is a massive collection of 84 stories and and is excellent.
Cool! Thanks for the write-up RC!
Congratulations on the new books!
It looks like you can still order these for $32.95 from The collector.
Great new books! Congratulations on the Michael Marshall Smith number 1!
Love your books.
Now I'm trying to hunt down the Bradbury/SubPress edition!
sk
I did see that. Congrats man! I'd give my left pinkie for that book... and that Matheson... and that Lansdale!Don't know if you caught it, but at the start of this list -- on page 2 -- I show my recently acquired copy of Bradbury's DARK CARNIVAL...that was a bit of a minor Holy Grail for me...very excited to finally have that one!
Thanks, everyone. Will have more on Monday.
I loved RED DRAGON, couldn't put it down. That'll teach me to mess with crazy glue when I'm reading a book. I also like that Simak, he's one of the few authors I've met, he signed an Ace paperback 4th printing of CITY for me.

This cracked me up.
More Centipede goodness:
...and lastly (for today):
Those look great. Congrats.
Congratulations! That Centipede edition of The Dark by James Herbert is one of my favourites!
I also have Centipede's editions of THE FOG and '48 -- and am awaiting delivery of THE RATS trilogy. Good stuff.
I am a big James Herbert fan and have all his books in one form or another. I have yet to get around to getting his Centipede limiteds. Too many other books to buy.I also have Centipede's editions of THE FOG and '48 -- and am awaiting delivery of THE RATS trilogy. Good stuff.
Congratulations on all the new additions especially Shadowland and The Dark!
I really like Herbert's early works, that ones King says contain "raw urgency," but from about '85's MOON , I fell away from him (with the exception of '48 ) as his style grew far less raw and urgent and, instead, rather overly polished and surprisingly sedate.
Thanks for the congrats, everyone.
More on tap tomorrow...
Killer stuff! Impossible Monsters looks like a cool anthology. And yes the Herbert CP editions are fantastic, especially The Dark and The Fog.
