    I know I said one post a day, but wanted to share the issue I just got in from @PopKulture's sales thread. This one has "Breakfast at Twilight", which is a marvelous title:

    As was this, after PopKulture asked if it was one of the ones I still needed. Which is was, I'm at 45 of 49 on the MMM's now. Thank you again! (The catch being, three of the four I need are probably in the top 5 hardest issues to get...)

    And some Avons. The 269 was, incredibly, thrown in as a bonus.

    So, I got a box of books in from @PopKulture's recent sale. Those are going to be popping up all over the forums for the next hour, since I discovered that PopKulture's idea of packing material is to throw in more books. The Woolrich is a stated 2nd Pocket edition.

    It sounds like you're doing well in relative terms, compared to many other people I've known who had strokes. But that's not meant to diminish the lousy bits. Good luck, we're all still rooting for you, and thank you for the update.

    Whoops, grabbed the wrong image. Could have happened to anybody. Here's the right one:

    Finishing off the King run, the Charltons start tomorrow:

    The digest project has expanded to include "some I found in boxes once I started looking" and "stuff I got at the local bookstore yesterday" and maybe even other sources. But still sticking to a couple a day. The Amazing Stories has "Stand-By", the Astounding has "Imposter". Somewhat surprisingly, this is the only issue of Astounding with a PKD story that I know of:

    If you don't mind us asking, how is the recovery going, Jimbo?

    Very nice! It was fun figuring out this came before the Bugs Bunny Giant, even if the story there predates the stories in this issue.

    I have no idea what the Spanish print run was. Also, posting a picture of the English paperback, just to add some color to the thread. I really wouldn't mind upgrading my copy some day, it's fairly beat.

    My ability to forget I knew something existed is pretty high, to be fair. You may have and I can still claim I just learned about it today. I know I've shown this one before, since we're on the subject.

    I don't have it, but there is an English language hardcover. Supposedly limited to 500 copies, I believe, and supposedly about half were so badly made they weren't sold. Not positive it they sold 500 of an original 1000, or 250 of an original 500.

    I was lucky enough to see Paul McCartney live in Seattle several years ago. For the encore, he brought on Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic, and Pat Smear (who was a touring member of Nirvana.) So no, I think they fit together just fine. And it remains the most amazing show I ever saw live, one of those moments where you know you were incredibly lucky to be there that night.

    Also, copy of the book ordered... it wasn't as crazy as I expected it to be.

    In addition to my last comment: Also, now I want a copy of the book, @jimjum12, and I didn't know it existed before you posted it.

    A couple from the local store today:

    A few from the local store today, they just reopened after a flood caused by a pipe burst during a super cold freeze a few weeks ago. Any suggestion I grabbed the Monarch specifically to get @Randall Dowling's attention is a vile accuracy.

    One more today:

    I got in a nice handful of reader grade digests with PKD stories in a few weeks ago, I've been remiss in actually getting them posted. Amazing Stories has "The Commuter", Fantastic Universe has "Souvenir". More over the next few days.

    Part of me thinks I should upgrade my US edition of #9. Another part of me thinks "Why bother? You've got a nice enough UK edition, why bother?"
  24. OtherEric
    What can I say? Old paper makes me happy.

    I really didn't post much the first 50 or so pages, to be fair. I was amused to see that my 1st post in the thread was about John D. MacDonald and my 2nd was about PKD. I certainly started out right on brand, at least!
