Hope you will be able to remove all those ugly price tags. Why do used booksellers stick ugly price tags on the front covers of books? We need to educate these people!

That Donaldson 2-book series (Mirror of Her Dreams and A Man Rides Through) was actually really good. 👍🏻

Ellery Queen was a pen name primarily shared between two writing partners, but occasionally lent out to others, including Jack Vance. He wrote four books using Ellery Queen, but that Dragon's Teeth wasn't one of his.

I love good true crime, but so much of it is about mobsters or serial murderers (in an almost glorifying way). Meh on that stuff.

I absolutely loved Jack L. Chalker's Well of Soul series, especially the original 5-parter, starting with Midnight at the Well of Souls. Well World is awesome with a multitude of alien species. Hexes are divided into technological, semi-industrial, (steam power works), and magic systems.

" . . . and I think that's Robert E. Lee holding an AK . . ." TY for another rampage through great covers and bits and bobs . . .

Pre Will Smith edition Willow...LOOOL 😂

[@thecryptile]

Lee's Flat Earth books are perhaps similar in tone to Vance's Dying Earth books but not a continuation of them. The Flat Earth is like JRRT's Middle-earth, set in the mythical past of our own world. You might be thinking of A Quest for Simblis by Michael Shea.

Jack Chalker has an out-sized place in used book stores...I can't think of an SF author that has so many secondhand books floating around. Maybe Piers Anthony and Poul Anderson.

If you like early weird stuff, you might want to look out for Arthur Machen, a Welsh writer of totally unsentimental tales involving faeries and other unnerving folk archetypes.

Eye, by Frank Herbert has one short story called The Road to Dune

[@mattj2118]

I haven’t read Lincoln‘s dream yet, but Connie Willis is a great writer.

[@Zozette27]

I love ‘Davy’ by Edgar Pangborn. One of my favourite books of all time. I also really enjoyed ‘Sphere’, which I think is one of Crichton’s best.

Even though you sell quite a few of your book finds, one day you should have a room dedicated to your collection.

Jeter's Noir is quite dense, and is a Sci Fi Noir mystery, with some great concepts in it. I don't understand why Jeter is not widely known, he's amazing.

[@damobdaking]

I really like Gordon R Dickinson short stories over his novels. Glad I'm not alone.

[@HideAndRead]

Nor Crystal tears is one of my favorite covers. The story is pretty good if i remember correctly.

[@JozefLewitzky]

Just wanted to comment to say how great your lighting, camera, and sound quality is! Always love the hauls, but the reviews are where its at :)

[@gregahunt]

they call him the chalk hauler

I grew up in NM and got to meet Roger twice, unfortunately lent out many of my autographed books never to be seen again. He was extremely generous and gracious in person.
