We've Recovered From Sunday !

Every year, our colleague, Myrna Donato - Amber Unicorn Books - and I do a show and sale at the Vegas Valley Book Festival's Feasting on Words day, the first Sunday in November. This year, our friend and local author Steve Grogan, author of Vegas Die, Captain Cooked, and a new I-book, was a featured author at the FoW show, and caught Myrna and me at our best ! Thanks, Steve.

Vacation's Over - For Everybody !

Our colleagues from Amber Unicorn Books spent last week vacationing at the World Science Fiction Convention (WORLDCON) in Reno, where they found a dealer who had paperback copies of the Winston Juvenile Science Fiction Series. My mentor and master, Rick Cook - Attic Books, Laurel Maryland - was in town, again vacationing as were we, and Myrna & Lou told us about the paperback Winstons. My immediate thought, of course, was a blogicle, thus ending my vacation. We dumped Rick & Ellen at Southwest yesterday morning, and I hit the google, finding:

36 BATTLE ON MERCURY by Erik van Lhin pseudonym [Buy it!] [show this book only]

Del Rey Lester writing as Erik Van Lhin.

75.00

ABAA

L. W. Currey, Inc.

Philadelphia, Toronto: The John C. Winston Company,. [1953]. pictorial wrappers.. Shelf wear at edges, a good copy. (#132298). First edition. Part of the classic Winston science fiction series for young readers published between 1952 and 1961. Once thought to be an advance issue or uncorrected proof, this paperbound issue may have been prepared for use at U.S. Military base libraries or perhaps was a remainder issue. The book is made up of first edition sheets complete with the illustrated Schomburg end papers enclosed in stiff paper wrapper which has the dust jacket pasted to it. The jacket is a later printing with 29 titles listed on the rear panel instead of the 15 that were listed on the first printing jacket. Anatomy of Wonder (1995) 5-160. Philadelphia Toronto: The John C. Winston Company

Once again, Lloyd Currey strikes.  As did our colleague - and Rick's brother-in-law, John Knott:

A Book Fair Experience

Book shows and sales aren't anywhere near as good as they were 25 years ago. Booth rentals have skyrocketed, organizers have really gotten into their horses' patoot personas, and customers are more interested in looking than in buying. However, there's hope:  New York Antiquarian Book Fair
