Two more books came in from Centipede Press:<\/p>\n

  • Boyett, Stephen R. The Architect of Sleep<\/b>. Centipede Press, 2021. First hardback edition, #355 of 400 signed, numbered copies, a Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket, still in shrinkwrap. Really interesting novel about a man transported to an alternate earth where raccoons evolved as the planet’s sentient life form. Originally published as an Ace paperback original back in 1986 and became something of a cult classic, and I’ve sold a lot of PBO copies of this and Ariel<\/b> over the years (and indeed, if you just want to read it, I have copies available<\/a>). Recommended. This signed edition is already sold out from the publisher. I’m hoping this new edition prods Boyett into revising and finishing the still-unpublished sequel, The Geography of Dreams<\/b>.\n

  • Foster, Alan Dean. The Director Should’ve Shot You: Memoirs of the Film Trade<\/b>. Centipede Press, 2021. First hardback edition, #430 of 500 signed, numbered copies, a Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket, still in shrinkwrap. I haven’t read any Foster novels since one of the early Pip and Flinx books way back in my misspent youth, but this one interests me. As the king of media tie-in novels, from Star Wars<\/b> to Alien<\/b> to Krull<\/b>, Foster has worked on a lot of big hits (and misses), and in this book he dishes on all the behind-the-scenes drama he witnessed in in his career. This signed edition is already sold out from the publisher.\n

    The white square visible on the front is a numbered card inside the shrink wrap that will get laid in when it’s opened.<\/li>\n

    I will have copies of both of these in the next Lame Excuse Books catalog<\/a> (currently in progress). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
