Who would have thought that Lizzie Borden was a big EC fan. Appropriate that this is a trimmed copy.

I saw it last night with my daughter.  I know nothing about the game but enjoyed it.  Much better than the new Exorcist debacle.

What's about the refund?

I would assume they’d cancel the claim filed by the seller. I’d hope fed ex would at least refund his shipping costs. I didn’t ask for my money back. Figured let the claim process play out and hopefully that would put at least some pressure on them to locate the book. It may be pure coincidence but I think talking to the manager at the site helped locate the book.  

Thanks both. I think I’ll take a ride to the shipping center where it was last scanned and see if I can talk to someone. The shipper filed a claim but I’d feel better if I could actually speak with somebody who may know what could have happened. 

Hey,

I recently bought a golden age book (value about $900) and the seller shipped it to me via Fed Ex. After a week, the book continued to show “out for delivery.” I called Fed Ex and talked to a representative overseas who asked for my information. The next day I got an email saying the shipment was lost and to initiate a claim with the seller. I called back a few more times trying to get more information but couldn’t get past the various customer representatives who all repeated the same thing - it’s lost and initiate a claim; but no detail on who they spoke with and what they actually investigated to make that determination.
 

The seller will refund me so that’s not an issue. I just don’t want to give up and would like to try to get the book. I struggle with reconciling that the book survived 80 years only to to be lost in 2023 by Fed Ex. I went to a local Fed Ex today and they told me the same - contact customer service. 
 

Any advice would be appreciated. Again, a refund isn’t an issue. I just want to locate the book.

6.5

Great seller.  Fantastic communication and shipped super quick.

Suspense Stories collected by Alfred Hitchcock     Mapback    Dell #92    1945    $18  

Classic Alfred Hitchcock Spiderweb cover. The first Hitchcock Horror/Suspense collection.

Very Good/Very Good Plus. Another one from before Dell used lamination or gloss on covers. Great color. Solid square binding, pages tight and supple. Spine has some wear, has a readers crease and some small bends and creases associated with the grade.  A pretty nice copy of a classic Dell that is usually found as a rag.

The opportunity to read Leinigen versus the Ants again - I’ll definitely take that. 

I had this exact question. As you can see from the photos, the front cover insert is torn  but they are still attached with the tattooz. I have no idea how this would be handled.

8.0

Has anyone ever read F. Paul Wilson?  His Adversary Cycle and Repairman Jack series are some of the best stories I’ve read in a long time. I never heard of him until someone recommended the Keep, and then I became hooked.

Fun movie.  I have not been a fan of the last few Marvel movies but this was more like the Phase 1 films.  Will definitely see it a second time next weekend.

Every week for me. Happens on both my iPhone and desktop. 

I saw it last night. It wasn’t a bad entry in the series, but a bit overhyped. Had some good homages to the prior movies - especially a good eyeball popping scene. In comparison with the others, it was probably my least favorite. The pacing had something to do with that as the first act was very slow. The characters weren’t very likeable either. That said, it’s an Evil Dead movie so it’s much better than anything else out there. 4/5

Saw it over the weekend. Nicholas Cage was great but the movie was just so so for me. I was really looking forward to it, and while it wasn’t terrible, I had higher expectations. Hopefully, Evil Dead won’t disappoint. 

8.5 maybe
