Silver Ticket Found
Not a gold ticket, but silver will do. It is the second
state, first edition, of Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Knopf 1964, with blindstamped red cover, mustard endpapers, maroon topstain, and five line colophon on last page. Alas, no dust jacket. But I am happy. The condition is fine and the price was right. -- Francis A. Miniter Oscuramente libros, laminas, llaves siguen mi suerte. Jorge Luis Borges, La Cifra Haiku, 6 |

Silver Ticket Found
At a recent bookfair, I got a very nice price on the first three
volumes of horror editor Stephen Jones' new "Not at Night" series of anthologies. All three are numbered and signed, and in perfect condition. Looking on bookfinder, these books generally go for twice what I paid...and the seller "ate" the sales tax on my purchase! "For fans of classic horror fiction, the Not at Night series of anthologies is one of the genre's best-kept secrets. Beginning with the book from which the series took its collective name, published in October 1925, literary agent and author Christine Campbell Thomson edited twelve volumes which appeared from British publisher Selwyn & Blount during the 1920s and '30s. Now here is a new anthology inspired by Thomson's acclaimed series." The series seems to have come to a halt, though a new volume is listed on Jones' website (for 2011!). |
