Since I already had a significant number of titles in the series, I decided to build out a complete collection of Borderlands Little Books. These come from two sources: 1.) Direct dealer purchases from the publisher, and 2.) A lot of 15 titles, including the Gaiman title (the most difficult one I still lacked) for $886. <\/p>\n

  • Blackwood, Algernon (Mark Sieber, editor). A Little Black Book of Bedevilment<\/b>. Borderlands Press, 2022. First edition hardback, #462 of 500 copies signed by the editor, a Fine copy. Bought from the publisher at the usual discount. I will have copies of this available in the next Lame Excuse Books<\/a> catalog.\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

  • DeChancie, John. A Little Gray Book of Alien Stories<\/b>. Borderlands Press, 2004. First edition hardback, #168 of 500 signed, numbered copies, a Fine copy. Bought as part of the 15 book lot.\n

  • Gaiman, Neil. A Little Gold Book of Ghastly Stuff<\/b>. Borderlands Press, 2011. First edition hardback, #168 of 500 signed, numbered copies, a Fine copy, sans dust jacket, as issued. Mixture of fiction, non-fiction, essays, speeches, poetry, etc. Cool cover illustration by Gahan Wilson.
