Now that I’ve sent out the latest Lame Excuse Books catalog, I finally have time to list additions to my own library that I found in the Dallas\/Fort Worth area. This post includes all the signed hardbacks, and all were bought at various DFW-area Half Price Books.<\/p>\n

  • Allston, Aaron. Star Wars: Fate of the Jedi: Outcast<\/b>. Del Rey, 2009. First edition hardback, a Fine copy in a Fine- dust jacket with the tiniest little crimping at head and heel, inscribed by Allston: “To Chris: May the\/Force be with you!\/Aaron Allston\/2011\/10\/8.” Bought for $7.99.\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

  • Braunbeck, Gary A. In the Midnight Museum<\/b>. Necessary Evil Press, 2005. First edition hardback, #118 of 450 signed, numbered copies, a Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket. Braunbeck is the only writer in this post I don’t (or didn’t) know personally. Bought for $10.\n

  • Bryant, Edward. The Baku<\/b>. Subterranean, 2001. First edition hardback, #221 of 500 signed, numbered copies, a Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket. I think I passed on this when it first came out because I thought $35 was too pricey for what was essentially a 28 page novelette that had already been published in Night Visions 4<\/b> (plus an introduction and teleplay of same). Oh those younger, more innocent times. Bought for $10.\n

  • Cadigan, Pat. Patterns<\/b>. Ursus Imprints, 1989. First edition hardback, 162 of 400 signed, numbered copies, a Fine- copy with slight bumping at head and heel in a Near Fine+ dust jacket with a thin 2″ long scratch on rear near spine and slight edgewear. Supplements a trade edition inscribed to me. Bought for $7.99.\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

  • Lethem, Jonathan. You Don’t Love Me Yet<\/b>. Doubleday, 2007. First edition hardback, a Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket, signed by Lethem. Supplements an unsigned copy. Bought for $9.99.\n
