I really do.

I like the ace spines, personally:

So long as we're off on this tangent... A book by PKD that was only released in the UK, for the most part. The only US version was a limited edition hardcover in 1978.

For quite a while I would buy copies of Good Omens when I saw them in half price shops to give to people because I knew they wouldn't find their way home. It's become well known enough by this point that I don't really need to bother any more, but for years it was one of those books I loved people hadn't heard of. Also, there is no way in hell I'm ever loaning out my 1st edition US Hardcover signed by both Gaiman and Pratchett.

I don’t remember that specific issue, unlike some. But you’ve seen my trouble naming a thread over in the pulps forum.

Be seeing you!

I know I’ll never look at a weather balloon the same way again. Rover was genuinely terrifying in a way that’s impossible to explain to anyone who hasn’t watched the show. And that’s just one almost trivial example.

I think I can top that for eye watering off register, but it’s not UK:

Thank you. Copy ordered!

After seeing that cover... I still don't know that Donald's a surfer!

Most of the copies I see on ABEBooks say 1991, is the 1992 version a revision?

The problem with posting Avons is I don't know when to stop...

I love the Avons. If I had to choose between Avons and Aces, I would go with Ace, but they're both amazing.

We were discussing the show in another thread as well, and I'll repeat what I said there: I think The Prisoner is the best TV show ever made. Not necessarily my personal favorite, although it's way up there as well, but the best.

I was going to suggest bookscans, but I only see one Superior there and it's not that one. Sorry.

Note that #30 is the scarce 40c first print. It's one of the few Whitman issues from August-December 1980 that actually got reprinted once the distribution mess was solved for a while, presumably related to the movie.

Nice! I somehow hadn't realized that Flesh was one of those weird Beacon/ Galaxy books; I was only aware of Farmer's work for Essex House.

The Deadly Hands of Criminal is in today, to go with the Savage Sword of Criminal I already have. Pretty sure these are the only two retro-look magazines they did. The Savage Sword isn't new but I figure they belong together:

In today. I blame @Randall Dowling for this one, he showed a copy in a preview picture for a sales thread but he was reminded he had promised somebody else first crack at it so it never actually got listed. So I of course had to track down an alternate copy. PKD has "The Cookie Lady" in this one

17 episodes.

Another creator from the Golden Age still with us: Jack Katz

San Francisco at least seems to have a decent selection still. Or maybe my view is skewed because I travel all over the area whenever I go down there... It's easy to miss how good the stores you visit regularly are, because you know them so well.

See, I've got Kayo down as the amazing book store in SF proper and Moe's Books as the amazing bookstore in Berkley. The problem with that definition is what to call Borderlands in that case, I supposed we could claim Haight is not only another city but since 1968 has been another planet entirely?
