Here’s a book I’ve wanted for quite a while, and finally pulled the trigger on:<\/p>\n

Lansdale, Joe R. The Nightrunners<\/b>. Dark Harvest, 1987. First edition hardback, letter X of 26 signed, lettered copies, a Fine copy in white leather and a wooden slipcase (AKA “slipcrate”), sans dust jacket, as issued. (Note: The wooden slipcase has three small notches at the back, but given the uniform staining, they were there when the book left the publisher.) Lansdale’s landmark splatterpunk novel, featuring two very<\/i> bad boys and The God of the Razor. Chalker\/Owings, page 120 (Jack was not<\/i> a fan of the novel). Bought off a fellow Biblio dealer for $315. <\/p>\n

Note that this is the third Dark Harvest “slipcrate” edition I’ve added to my library, along with George R. R. Martin’s Portraits of His Children<\/b><\/a> and Chet Williamson’s Dreamthorpe<\/b><\/a>. <\/p>\n

I would sort of like to pick up all the other Dark Harvest “slipcrate” lettered editions, but not at the prices people are currently asking for them. <\/p>\n
