You have an addiction! ;-)
Hellooooo I just received for Christmas
. Also, I'm waiting for
and
. Instead, this
never came my way :( I'm still hoping it will come.
I've been trying to purchase more "collectible" books and only borrow the books I want to just read. I've recently purchased signed, slipcased versions of Wraith/NOS4A2 and Headgames by Joe Hill, and The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. They are gorgeous!
I can't do pictures where I am at the moment, but here are links to the pages:http://www.darkregions.com/books/all/...

Your library is looking dope. That Lock & Key should blow up in price soon enough. I listened to the audible which was incomprehensible at times.

Only in audio, it was a free group listen awhile back. Everyone said the audio was only good if you had the comic in front of you. I'm sure that's true. I was often so lost.
Letters To The Damned is excellent in audio!Apart from that, new acquisitions include The Jersey Devil, and The Black Prism
I just picked up Hidden Bodies, Hex, Mongrels, The Golem, and Wrapped in Skin.I'm two stories into Wrapped in Skin, and I can't wait to get to the others. : )
It's really too bad that Darkfuse is dropping out of the book publishing game, but I've been able to pick up quite a few of their back catalog to fill in the holes of my collection. If you type in Darkfuse as the search word in Amazon, a whole slew of great reads will pop up for $2.99 and less. I've been able to grab many Greg F. Gifune, William Meikle, Hunter Shea, and many more this past week.
It's not often that I buy a book for it's cover only. I don't even care if this book is dreadful, just look at the cover! It's glorious!!
Where do you score your great book buys - used book stores? eBay or other auction site? Garage/rummage sales/flea markets? Amazon? Or other?
Amazon sales and Marketplace, Alibris books, Abe books. Sometimes Ebay. If I want a book, especially an old one, I'll ferret out the price differentials.
I've perused through Abe books a few times, but mainly Amazon an eBay. Ill have to check out Alibi and Marketplace.

I just went on thrift books earlier today and bought:African Psycho by Alain Mabanckou
Dark Harvest by Norman Partridge
&
The Halloween Man by Douglas Clegg
