| Re: Book Hauls! Came home today to find a note from my postal carrier saying he'd quit because of me....  Okay, it's not quite that bad, but some of these things I've been getting are rather large. Today's haul was comprised of: The Letters of Hart Crane: 1916-1932 The Letters of Hart Crane and His Family The Lovecraft Papers (containing Pulptime and Scream for Jeeves), by Peter H. Cannon (a replacement copy) A Vintage from Atlantis (vol. IV in The Complete Fantasies of Clark Ashton Smith) |

| Re: Book Hauls! Looks like I'm slighlty behind JD on this one but I too picked up: The Best Of Robert E Howard - Vol 2 *As he said these are beautifully presented books with a nice set of illustrations. Also purchased some more graphic novels: Midnight Days - Neil Gaiman Violent Cases - Neil Gaiman & avid McKean Lovecraft - Rodionoff & Breccia *Supposed to be a reasaonably acccurate biographical look at Lovecraft's life, thought it may be interesting to check out in comic book format. |
