Ah. Well, that was fast. Guess that makes my decision a bit easier. :-(

That was fast!
Glad that I jumped on it right away.
$85 and only 200 copies made it a pretty good deal.
I think I'm going to sell all of my McCammon, Simmons, Farris, etc. books. Not sure what interest there will be, so I was considering putting each book up at $.99 on ebay, and letting the market dictate.
Old pic, but some stuff is here:

I think the only book I will keep is my lettered 1/15 Song of Kali. That book (production, story etc.) is in my top 10 of the last things I would sell.
If you do end up selling them, please provide a link...I've been after a sweet-priced HC copy of Etchison's MASTERS OF DARKNESS for some time.
Is it this one?

Thanks !
That Song of Kali is one of the best looking books I've seen. The whole thing has a sleek and stylish appearance, and those boards are gorgeous.
On Saturday I did a photo shoot for Scholastic at the ALA Mid-winter Conference in Chicago.
It's a smaller trade show, but pretty much every publisher there was giving away ARCs and Uncorrected Proofs of upcoming releases.
I had about 45 minutes at the end of the day to wander the floor and check out the other exhibitors. I didn't really recognize any of the authors, but grabbed 7 or 8 books for myself, family and friends.
Kind of cool to have access to ARCs through something other an eBay for a change!
These 2 sounded the most interesting to me:

I'll give these 2 a "maybe read."

A cool Hobbit journal.

A few for my sister/friends:

These will probably go to cousins and their kids:

Best title of the bunch:

Also got a Batman poster and a Flash poster.
Scholastic didn't have anything Harry Potter related or I definitely would have grabbed a couple for members here.
I almost forgot, Logan's Run from Centipede Press was waiting for me when I got home tonight.
Pics later in the week.
There are no threads about Lovecraft? Nobody collects his work here?
I've often thought about starting a thread here (as well as a "Dracula" one), if nothing else than to show off what I think is the most beautiful, and nearest to perfection, book in my collection: The Letterpress Heavenly Monkey edition of The Shadow Over Innsmouth.
The PS-Publishing Lovecraft books are definitely worth collecting:
