from the lovely people at Valancourt who truly do the world a service by reprinting some fabulous and sometimes long OOP books.
These are the two newest from Thomas Tessier and they look fantastic. Should be able to get to them in November (hopefully, haaaa) but for now they look right at home amongst my other vintage paperbacks and PFH.

Sick of my Shirley Jackson obsession yet? TOO BAD.

-I am the proud owner of a rare vintage paperback of WE HAVE ALWAYS LIVED IN THE CASTLE that has a golden cat on it.

-Now I am also the proud owner of the golden version of THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE.

LOOK AT THEM FINALLY TOGETHER, OMG 😭😍

Funny thing... In a previous post from our wrecked shed was a box labeled "Good old sci-fi." I have yet to reach that box, and yet, the loose books from the last few posts are AMAZING! I can't wait to see what's in that box.

7/14/23 Open 6-10p. No open containers, please.

7/13/23 - Schedule Update / Bonus Post

The shop will be closed Tuesday through Friday next week (July 18th - 21st, 2023). I need to get some dusty, sweaty work done–which doesn't mix well with the customer service aspect of retail. Stop in Tomorrow, Saturday, or Monday if you can't wait until next Saturday. Closed Sunday, as usual. Hope to see you soon!

My entire Shirley Jackson collection. The Popular Library with the fancy font (& art by William Teason, I think) is the series I had been missing one from, UNTIL NOW. The others are miscellaneous vintage paperbacks I've collected, including two rare ones (The Corgi HILL HOUSE & the golden cat CASTLE one.)

Just finished this one. Was another action packed Mack Bolan adventure! It was set in France and I found the writing of the characters using broken English annoying. Other than that great story! 4 out of 5!

Not quite ready for sale, a recently acquired collection of vintage Mentor Books. These have always been personal favorites and can be difficult to find in nice shape. Their gloss-clad covers tend to peel, sometimes taking color with it.

5/17/23 Open 6-9p Mask recommended. No open containers, please.

"Batman: The Cult" trade paperback first edition, found in one of my to-do boxes Saturday evening by a customer who wisely elected not to carry it around all night. The Dark Knight approves making the tough calls.

4/17/23 Open 6-9p Mask recommended. No open containers, please.

& - together, fighting the forces of evil since 1939!

In his wake, remembrance of Al Jaffee's MAD Fold-Ins overshadows his many other contributions to the mag, as collected in numerous paperbacks, like "Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions."

@KentuckyConjurer My various Pulp Fiction Cover Galleries. I've kept this material in a few places. Not updating at the moment but there's a lot to look through. The blog doesn't have great tagging/search but if you scroll you will find.

@kekw Cool! I'm familiar with much of the contents but want them for the package and any intro material Aickman might have added. He was ed on the 1st 8. Some of my favorite series/packages (besides BAF): the DAW with the covers (started grabbing those in used bookstores when I was about 10) and the Tom Adams with wraparound painted covers.

@kekw Nice! I'm might hit you up with paperbacking tips next time we're in the uk. I'd love to put together a collection of the Robert Aickman edited Fontana Ghost Story collections at some point. Here's the rest of my pb shelf (double stacked of course). When my wife and I were buying an appt forever ago, the perfection of this spot for a built in bookcase decided it for me.
