Lansdale Firsts"},"content":{"rendered":"

Here’s a mixed bag of Lansdale firsts, one new Subterranean first, two sets of books that I already had in different states, and two different states of a book of Lansdale interviews that I’m in. <\/p>\n

  • Lansdale, Joe R. Cold in July<\/b>. Mark V. Ziesing, 1989. First hardback edition, #388 of 500 signed, numbered copies, a Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket and a Fine- slipcase with a bump at bottom rear. Isajenko, World Lansdalean<\/b> A011.b. With<\/i> Lansdale, Joe R. Savage Season<\/b>. Mark V. Ziesing, 1989. First edition hardback, #388 of 500 signed, numbered copies, a Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket, in the same slipcase. Isajenko, World Lansdalean<\/b> A013.a. Supplements a PC set (received as part of typing Cold in July<\/b> into a computer from galley proofs) and a signed “mock” limited set<\/a>. Bought from a private collector for $50.\n
  • Lansdale, Joe R. The Drive-In (A B-Movie With Blood and Popcorn, Made in Texas)<\/b>. Bantam Spectra, 1988. First edition paperback original, #57 of 100 aftermarket copies from The Overlook Connection with a special limitation page pasted in, a Fine- copy with pinprick of abrasion to bottom rear tip, in a Mylar-bag, in a Fine embossed aftermarket slipcase. Isajenko, World Lansdalean<\/b> A010.a. With<\/i> Lansdale, Joe R. The Drive-In 2 (Not Just One Of Them Sequels)<\/b>. Bantam Spectra, 1989. First edition paperback original, #57 of 100 aftermarket copies from The Overlook Connection with a special limitation page pasted in, a Fine copy, in a Mylar-bag, in the same slipcase. Isajenko, World Lansdalean<\/b> A012.a. Supplements inscribed copies of the ordinary PBOs, plus inscribed hardback firsts of the Kinnell editions, plus The Complete Drive-In<\/b> from Centipede Press. These Overlook Press aftermarket paperback limiteds were weird things, which is why I didn’t pick these up until I found a set at the right price. Bought from the same private collector for $35.\n
