Is this book still in print?

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.

Re: Packages from the Postman
@service worker: Wow very impressive cover and blurbs. What's the book's experience like?

I got this recently too. I've enjoyed everything I've read by David Peak so far.

It is a physically attractive book about the same dimensions and feel as a New York Review Books Classics. I haven't read it yet. Hope to put up a non-spoiler review later.

Apocalypse Party Press has put out some interesting titles. I've only read Terminal Park by Gary J. Shipley so far, but I enjoyed it.

Books - Apocalypse Party

Re: Packages from the Postman
Convulsive by Joe Koch, also printed by Apocalypse Party, is highly worthy of a gander. Joe rocks.

David is an accomplished, lyrical scribe. Have loved everything he's written to date.
