Most of these were Half Price Books purchases:<\/p>\n

  • Caro, Robert. The Years of Lyndon Johnson: The Passage of Power<\/b>. Knopf, 2012. First edition hardback, a Fine copy in a Fine- dust jacket with slight bumping at head, heel and points. The fourth volume of Cato’s award-winning Johnson biography. Bought from Half Price Books for $9.99.\n
  • Haber, Karen, and Leigh Brackett. Thieves Carnival<\/b>\/The Jewel of Bas<\/b>. Tor, 1990. First edition paperback original, a Fine copy, new and unread. Sort of assembling a complete Leigh Brackett collection as targets of opportunity present themselves. Bought at Half Price Books for $1.99.\n
  • (Lovecraft, H.P.) Joshi, S. T. The Madness of Cthulhu<\/b>. Titan Books, 2014. First edition paperback original, a Fine- copy with a edgewear at head and heel. Joshi 200<\/b>, IX.11.a. Bought for $3 at Half Price Books.\n
  • Piercy, Marge. Woman on the Edge of Time<\/b>. Knopf, 1976. First edition hardback, a Fine copy in a Fine- dust jacket with slight crease to top front flap. Pringle, SF 100<\/b> 81. Bought from Half Price Books for $6 in a coupon sale.\n
  • Rusch, Kristine Kathryn. The Gallery of His Dreams<\/b>. Axolotl\/Pulphouse, 1991. First edition hardback, #297 of 300 signed, numbered copies, a Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket. Additional inscribed by Rusch to Texas science fiction writer carrier Richerson: “For Carrie \u2014\/A very good\/writer \u2014 Send me stories!\/Kristine Kathryn Rusch\/ 6\/22\/91.” In fact, Rusch did publish some of Richerson’s work in both Pulphouse<\/i> and in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction<\/i>, making this something of an associational copy. Bought for, IIRC, $6.39 (20% off $7.99).\n
  • Silverberg, Robert. Moonferns & Starsongs<\/b>. Ballantine Books, 1971. First edition paperback original, a Fine- copy with just a couple of touches of edgewear, otherwise apparently new and unread. Short story collection. Bought from a Half Price Books in Houston for $2.40.\n
  • Sturgeon, Theodore (with Dough Moench and Alex Nino). Theodore Sturgeon’s More Than Human: The Graphic Story Version<\/b>. Byron Preiss Visual Publications, 1978. First edition hardback, a Near Fine- copy with bump to bottom points, slight bumping at head and heel, and one scratch and edgewear to front cover pasted-on color illustration, sans dust jacket, as issued. Signed by Sturgeon. Graphic novel adaptation of Sturgeon’s fix-up novel. I have been unable to find a limitation on the signed\/limited edition of this book. Bought off eBay for $29.99.\n
  • VanderMeer, Jeff. Borne<\/b>. MCD\/Farrar Straus Giroux, 2017. First edition hardback, a Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket, with bookmark for the Southern Reach trilogy laid in. Bought from Half Price Books for $9.99.\n
  • Wagner, Karl Edward. The Year’s Best Horror Stories XVI<\/b>. DAW, 1988. First edition paperback original, a Fine- copy with sight edgewear. Includes “Neighborhood Watch,” an early, rarely reprinted Greg Egan story. Bought from Half Price Books for $1.99.\n<\/li>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
