Two very different books bought at Half Price Books.
Donoghue, Emma. Room. Little, Brown, 2010. First edition hardback (“FIRST EDITION: SEPTEMBER 2010” and “10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1” numberline on copyright page), a Fine- copy with slight bend at head and heel and slight blunting of tips in a Fine, Mylar-protected dust jacket. Mainstream novel of a mother raising a son in a single room while trying to hide from him the fact she’s a prisoner there. Basis of the 2015 film of the same name. Bought for $5.84.
Houlihan, John. Mon Dieu Cthulhu! The d’Bois Escapades: Volume One. No Publisher, 2018. Presumed first edition trade paperback original (no additional printings listed, but it looks like a POD book), a Fine copy. Contains two Napoleonic Wars Cthulhu Mythos novellas, “The Crystal Void” (“first illustrated edition”) and “Feast of the Dead,” for which this appears to be the first publication anywhere. I just found the concept interesting. Bought for $4.94.
