Another Borderlands Little Book:
Rohmer, Sax (F. Paul Wilson, editor). A Little Yellow Book of Perilous Tales. Borderlands Press, 2024. First edition hardback, #463 of 500 copies signed by Wilson, a Fine copy, sans dust jacket, as issued. Short stories, including the very first Fu Manchu story ever published.
I will have a very small number of copies available in the next lame Excuse Books catalog (currently in progress).
This is an odd thing, because I don’t usually pick up first magazine appearances of stories for writers I collect, but this one was a gift from Dwight, who bought a copy for the G. K. Chesterton piece, and picked up an extra copy for me due to the Lansdale story (“it was as easy to pick up two copies as one”).
Strand Magazine, LXXIII 2024. First edition magazine original, 2024, a Fine copy. Contains the original Joe R. Lansdale story “Night Trails,” as well as a previously unpublished G. K. Chesterton essay on detective stories, plus work by Josh Malerman, John M. Floyd and Margie Deck, as well as interviews with James Patterson and Rupert Holmes.
Another Half Price Books find:
Novik, Naomi. The Last Graduate. Del Rey, 2021. First edition hardback, a Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket. “Lesson 2 of the Schoolomance.” Sequel to A Deadly Education. Bought for $12.59.
