2022:

As someone who has read the Silmarillion, unfinished tales, and the history of middle earth, I still enjoy these assembled narratives for what they are. It is nice to experience the stories in a...

Not a new release, but I just watched Free Solo, a pretty amazing documentary about extreme rock climbing. Highly recommended, but if you don’t like heights it may be unwatchable. I had to stop and...

Well done.

Straub signed editions seem to be very variable. Some of them seem to go for quite a lot, while others don’t seem to fetch much at all. I do agree that you got this one for a steal,...

Nice! Glad you got one, Bill.

(I’m also in the “don’t need another copy of lord of the rings” camp. But lately, HarperCollins have been releasing such nice editions, it’s hard to resist. I don’t...

I’ve been watching Severance. It’s really great.

The subtext – or, quite often, text – of “Corporations are evil” has been done before, of course, but rarely in such an intriguing and entertaining...

If I'd read it, I'd comment, but I haven't.

I have two numbers in my set - #226 and #451. I originally got volumes 3 and 4 (Slaughter #226/Providence #451) together, and made the mistake of trying to match #451, not knowing that Slaughter only...

Yes, the UK Fairy Tale S/L may be a tough one to get. At only 200 copies, priced at only 250 GBP, not open to many non-UK buyers, and limited to one per customer, I suspect a lot of people who bought...

Speaking of which, these arrived today:

They look great, Brian! And one volume was, indeed, signed!

Hey, cool! We're "Mister Slaughter" neighbors. I have #226.

Likewise. Looking for a copy if someone is selling.

Her tone is "annoying little sister in the back seat demanding her parents make her brother stop touching her". Loud, nasal, and over-dramatic.

And while she has insider information about upcoming...

Blackwells has them, and includes shipping to the US:

My King of Shadows arrived today, and it's beautiful! Much appreciation for Brian and co for matching my number, too.

More photos here.

The King of Shadows has arrived, and it's stunning. Thank you Brian and co!

Ouch. That's a bit steep. I hope that wasn't for just one book!

I guess it's time for my annual post about wishing WH Smith would ship to the US. :)

I haven't seen any of it yet. It's one of the ones I'll get to eventually. I liked Breaking Bad but I didn't love it.[/QUOTE]

Some people prefer BCS to BB, so you may also prefer it. I like both...
