Love these old Mentor science paperbacks. This cover would have felt right at home on the cover of an old Astounding. |
That sure is a great cover!

Couple of freebies I picked up at the library. No, I don't mean I stole them, but there're a bunch of bookcases downstairs with free books, either library discards or books people drop off. They were in pretty good shape and even though I don't have room for them I couldn't resist. |

Library freebie, 1950 first paperback printing. Also found a book club hb of Norah Lofts' short stories but the cover ain't worth the pixels. |
A buck apiece at the library's Leap Year Book Sale which began today:

Great haul. I'm for sure going to keep an eye open for A TREASURY OF GREAT GHOST STORIES. Masters of dark fantasy indeed.
As for me, to celebrate finally being called back to work today I went to Goodwill and had a good time: http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...Overholser.jpg http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...ernStories.jpg http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/z...eBeethoven.jpg |
Found this early Barry Malzberg novel at the Salvation Army this afternoon. Fifty cents.

Nice, nice, nice! The Shirley looks tantalizing but the Ghidalia's a must have.
|
Yeah, the Ghidalia book looks great, it only has about seven stories but were talking Ray Bradbury, Algernon Blackwood, August Derleth, Clarke Ashton Smith, and Robert E. Howard, come on, it doesn't get much better. The one by J.N. Williamson titled Spree was originally called The Book of Webster's. The one called How to Write Tales of Horror, Fantasy, and Science Fiction looks like it has some really great essays by writer's like Ramsey Campbell, Ray Bradbury, Robert Bloch, Marion Zimmer Bradley, and Charles L. Grant.

|

Money well spent!
|

|
Thanks. All were twenty-five cents apiece except one that was white tagged at a quarter but since white tags were 50% off that day it only cost me twelve cents!
|
Did some work on the house this morning and so treated myself to a little run to the Goodwill later in the afternoon:

Got Rita Mae Brown and Sneaky Pie Brown's latest, The Big Cat Nap, for my Nook.
|
Rita Mae Brown any good?
|
I have, for many years, espied the Monster Club alongside your name. Is this book any good?
