Re: Packages from the Postman
Recent acquisitions.

Your fall should be like the fall of mountains. But I was before mountains. I was in the beginning, and shall be forever. The first and the last. The world come full circle. I am not the wheel. I am the hand that turns the wheel. I am Time, the Destroyer. I was the wind and the stars before this. Before planets. Before heaven and hell. And when all is done, I will be wind again, to blow this world as dust back into endless space. To me the coming and going of Man is as nothing.

One of the better covers that I've seen for Blood Meridian. The comic industry is way ahead at making money for cover variations. If book publishers wised-up they would offer multiple dust jacket versions for a hardback book, and just sell the dust jackets separately. Even better would be letting artists design their own and taking a percentage of the sale. I like this artist's rendition:



I rarely buy a new edition for a book solely for the cover art. But I did cave for this one:

Re: Packages from the Postman
This is my favorite Blood Meridian cover. It is the first edition and the painting is The Phantom Cart by Salvador Dalí.

When I first read that novel, I really wanted a first edition. Back then you could get a nice copy on eBay for about $450. I just checked, now they start at $4000. I did have a nice first edition of the book that inspired McCarthy's novel: My Confession by Samuel E. Chamberlain. I believe it cost me about $50. You can still grab a copy for about $250.

Re: Packages from the Postman
I recently ditched my smartphone and all social media, so no way of showing the actual stack without hooking up my DSLR and that's not something I can be bothered with right now. Here's a haul of mostly art books I received today.

I know that feeling and although I would love a 1st of Blood Meridian, I can't (yet) justify the cost. That said, there are other books that have motivated me that I was able to jump on a 1st edition before prices went skyward: Wise Blood, The Glass Bead Game, and The Rings of Saturn jump to mind.

Re: Packages from the Postman
A distinctly hypnagogic postal drop today. Ithell Colquhoun has been a recent fascination, and lament a proper collection of her artistic works isn't yet available.

I had the Blake and Hillman book at one time. Ithell Colquhoun is new to me.

Re: Packages from the Postman
I've received these items recently:



A small press publication from the early/mid 90s. Four stories by Ron Weighell. Published by Rosemary Pardoe. It has been on my AbeBooks want list for so long that I forgot about it. Years. A nice copy showed up for $25. Sold!



I've heard good things about this collection.

Plus, I got my copies of Vastarien and A Forest With Its Mouth Wide Open by Adam Cantwell.

A good month or so.
