Agreed - I already have a copy
Same. I paid full price too. Oh well.
Information on how to get an inscribed/signed copy of Medusa's Web: https://www.facebook.com/AuthorTimPo...01308199970369
His Facebook is very interesting; a lot of cool stories and insight into his writing process.
You can get an inscribed copy right here for cheaper than a flatsigned one from VJ: http://orange.ebookman.com/search.sh...u=Start+Search
It seems like Powers is their regular customer. He'll sign and/or inscribe whatever orders come in the next time he's there.
I read Last Call and liked it. I tried Expiration Date and couldn't finish it. I found a beat up paperback copy of The Anubis Gates. Is it worth trying?
That one is considered to be one of his best works.
I just received a tip top copy of Powers of Two. Still waiting on my inscribed Medusa's Web.
I received my inscribed copy of Medusa's Web. It has the same inscription (minus the name, obv.) but he also drew a sketch of himself. The store sent the book in a padded envelope and it came bowed enough to hold 1/3 bag of Skittles. I have it under a bunch of heavy books but the boards will remain soft even if straight.
If anyone is interested in a signed ARC of The Stress of Her Regard, one is listed HERE at $50 BIN.

Hello all,
Do any of you know anything about (i.e. - limitation, current value) the Axolotl Press, red leather, back-to-back PCs of "The Way Down the Hill"/"The Pink of Fading Neon" by Tim Powers and James Blaylock respectively. I've googled the book and found 3 sites that listed the PC limitation as 6, 1 site had it at 20, I think another had "indeterminate number" and a few made no mention of the PCs at all. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Michael
P.S. - I have a copy, so I've ruled out those sites that make no mention of them all.
This is all I found:
This Axolotl edition was bound back to back with the James P. Blaylock story The Pink of Fading Neon and featured an introduction by Ed Bryant. The Blaylock story was introduced by Charles De Lint and each copy was signed by all four contributors. This edition – three states of which are pictured – was actually issued in four separate states as follows…
400 paper bound copies. Priced at $6.00, ISBN 0-939-8790-85.
200 cloth bound hard cover copies. Priced at $35.00, ISBN 0-939-8790-79.
50 hard cover copies bound in grey leather. Priced at $65.00, ISBN 0-939-8790-69.
6 presentation copies, bound in red leather which were not offered for sale.
The first two states can be found fairly easily – try this link to ABE. The grey leather state comes up infrequently. Approximately fifteen sets of unbound pages were produced for review.
I don't own any, but I did get a new charnel house book in the mail - hide me among the graves - so I think that does it for my powers charnel house books.
Thank you Cit74. Your information appears to jibe with the better part of what I was able to find. I appreciate it!
And your Charnel House acquisition, Hide Me Among the Graves, is a beautiful book. Congratulations!

Three lettered editions back up for Medusa’s Web at Subterranean Press. I think it ships immediately. Probably won't last long - the lettered never do.

The lettered Medusa's Web is available again it seems.
Anyone getting Poems from Charnel House? I was on the fence about a book of poetry but A) it's Powers, and B) it's bound to be another stunning, hand made book. So yeah, I ordered the numbered edition.
Nice haul, Becca! Medusa's Web (which I actually just received from CD in one of their 50% off sales) is a really pretty book! Nicely designed and executed. MY slipcase, however, looks a little... rushed? It looks fine on one side- like yours- but the other side, you can see the tape marks through the cover material (if that makes any sense). How's yours? I did pick up Nobody's Home and Down & Out In Purgatory from the Subpress sale as well (Thanks, Bill!).

Here's The Collected Stories of Tim Powers: https://www.amazon.com/Down-Out-Purg...rds=tim+powers
Charnel House is doing the limited edition. This is what their website has to say about it: "The Collected Stories of Tim Powers is now being designed. The 22 story Charnel House Edition will be a tall drink of water in a binding you have never seen or touched before. More on this title soon."
I've never heard of Tim Powers, just went to read an online sample of Last Call, and I'm hooked.
You never know where you'll find the next one...
You can't be aloof until you advertise.
