These three came in just before I sent out the book catalog.
Di Filippo, Paul. Worldshifter. NewCon Press, 2021. First edition hardback, #50 of just 60 signed, numbered copies, a Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket. “A high-octane tale of sweeping scope and and [sic] imagination packed into a breathless novella.”
Williams, Liz. Comet Weather. NewCon, 2020. First edition hardback, #69 of 100 signed, numbered copies, a Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket. “Practical Magic meets The Witches of Eastwick.” By the author of the Detective Inspector Chan novels, which I rather like.
Williams, Liz. A Glass of Shadow. NewCon Press, 2011. First edition trade paperback original, a Fine copy. Short story collection.
All three of these are still available through Lame Excuse Books.

The last of the books from the Camelot 60% off sale. All but one of these are reference books, and the other is an oddity I just didn’t include with the previously listed books.
(Ellison, Harlan) Richmond, Tim, compiler and editor. Fingerprints on the Sky: The Authorized Harlan Ellison Bibliography. Edgeworks Abbey/Subterranean Press, 2017. First edition hardback, #238 of 500 numbered copies signed by Ellison and Richmond, a Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket. Massive oversized hardback, roughly 12 1/2″ high by 11″ wide. Lacks an index. Bought for $30, marked down from $75.
(Farmer, Philip Jose) Croteau, Michael. The Best of Farmerphile: The Magazine of Philip Jose Farmer. Meteor House, 2017. First edition hardback, one of 175 hardcovers signed by five of the contributors, a Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket. Contains a mixture of Farmer’s fiction, non-fiction, and essays about Farmer and his works by others, so I’ll probably end up shelving this under fiction anyway. Bought for $20, marked down from $50.
Golden, Christopher, editor (Clive Barker, Joe R. Lansdale, Charles L. Grant, John Ferris, etc). Cut! Horror Writers on Horror Film. Borderlands Press, 1992. First hardback edition and first edition thus, #318 of 500 signed, numbered copies signed by most of the contributors (doesn’t look like Anne Rice signed it), a Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket and Fine slipcase. Bought for $20 marked down from $50 (list price was $65).
King, Stephen, with John Mellencamp and T. Bone Burnett. Ghost Brothers of Darkland County. Concord Music Group, 2013. Trade paperback original in slipcase, the size and shape of an old multi-record LP boxed set, with two CDs of music and a DVD in pockets at the back. Libretto for a “Southern Gothic supernatural musical thriller.” The cast they’ve assembled to sing this thing is amazing: Elvis Costello, Neko Case, Kris Kristofferson, Roseanne Cash, Sheryl Crowe, etc. Bought for $19.99 marked down from $49.99.
(Lovecraft, H.P.) S.T. Joshi. H.P. Lovecraft: A Comprehensive Bibliography. University of Tampa Press, 2009. First edition hardback, a Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket. An update of Joshi’s 1981 Lovecraft bibliography. Weighs in at a hefty 681 pages. 200 Books by S. T. Joshi, I33a.
Williams, Liz, and Trevor Jones. Diary of a Witchcraft Shop. NewCon Press, 2011. First edition hardback, #49 of 50 signed, numbered copies, a Fine copy in decorated boards, sans dust jacket, as issued. I already owned the second volume, of which there were 100 hardbacks. Bought for $12 marked down from $30.
