Library Additions: Two Gift Books

Thursday, August 17th, 2023

These two books were received as gifts from friends:

  • Hample, Stuart. Non-Being and Something-ness: Selections from the Comic Strip Inside Woody Allen. Random House, 1974. First edition trade paperback original (numberline beginning with “2”, Random House’s deeply irritating method of identifying a first edition), a Near Fine copy with chip to top rear corner, crease to bottom front corner, nick to middle front edge, and a bit of wear. Dwight bought this for me based on my stumbling across this comic in a newspaper archive looking for something else and expressing surprise that it ever existed at all. It’s very hard to imagine today’s newspapers (the ones still managing to stay in business) publishing a comic about a celebrity based on their public persona and outlook on life, and harder still to imagine one that wouldn’t be horrifying.

  • Jordan, Will. Dark Harvest. Blackstone Publishing, 2022. First edition hardback, a Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket. Science fiction novel/technothriller Mike bought for me. Jordan is generally better known as YouTube movie reviewer The Critical Drinker.

    The Critical Drinker has thoughts that largely mirror my own, albeit with more drinking and profanity:
