Library Additions: Five Lansdale Firsts

Still cataloging the books I bought last year, including this batch of Lansdale firsts, four of which are signed.

  • Lansdale, Joe R. Bleeding Shadows. Subterranean Press, 2013. First edition hardback, #78 of 250 signed, numbered copies, a Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket and Fine slipcase, with publisher’s bookmark laid in. Supplements a trade edition (which has a different dust jacket). Bought from an online dealer for $75.
  • Lansdale, Joe R. The Boar. Night Shade Books, 2009. First edition hardback thus, #7 of 150 signed, numbered copies, a Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket. Bought from an Internet book dealer for $30. Supplements the Subterranean Press first edition. Originally announced as a Mark V. Ziesing book under the title Git Back, Satan!.
  • Lansdale, Joe R., editor. Son of Retro Pulp Tales. Subterranean Press, 2009. First edition hardback, a Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket, signed by Joe and Keith Lansdale. Trade edition. I actually picked up a copy of the limited edition, only to realize that not only did I already have one, but for some reason I hadn’t added the trade edition to my library, even though I already had it in Lame Excuse Books stock. Bought from the publisher at the usual discount way back when.
  • Lansdale, Joe R. Wet Juju. Short Scary Tales (SST) Publications, 2020. First edition hardback, #101 of 550 signed, numbered hardbacks, a Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket, with SST tissue paper closure sticker laid in. Bought from the publisher at the usual discount, and out of print upon publication. Massive collection. I will have copies available in the next Lame Excuse Books catalog, but prepare for it to be pricey.

  • Perez, Malia A., editor (Joe R. Lansdale). Speculative Poets of Texas. The House of the Fighting Chupacabra Press, 2015. First edition trade paperback original (“First printing” stated), a Fine copy, new and unread. Includes poems from Peter Holland, Joe R. Lansdale, Juan Manuel Perez, Waide Aaron Riddle, and Rie Sheridan Rose. Bought from Amazon.
