---Books from White Wolf here, after long-delayed order. It could be they have gone over completely to gaming books, but a few of their earlier books were still available. I don’t think I can set up links to the individual titles but further descriptions are easy enough to find from the White Wolf website:

---There were also a bunch of White Wolf paperbacks which I have not catalogued yet. They are mostly series novels (Clan, Vampire, Dark Ages, Predator & Prey) special ordered for customers or replacing sold out titles.

---A batch has arrived from Greenwood. These excessively-priced editions intended for the library market I can give a 20% discount, if that puts them closer within reach of the average person. I had to order at least ten books to get the discount, so it might be a while before I can try for another batch:
Ashley, Mike ALGERNON BLACKWOOD: A Bio-Bibliography, Greenwood '87, 1st, (Ramsey Campbell foreword), new no dj as issued 74.95

Clareson, Thomas D. SOME KIND OF PARADISE: The Emergence of American Science Fiction, Greenwood '85, 1st, (history of American SF), new in dj $68

Collings, Michael R. IN THE IMAGE OF GOD: Theme, Characterization, and Landscape In the Fiction of Orson Scott Card, Greenwood '90, 1st, (bibliography, list of works cited; index), new no dj as issued 64.95

Pierce, John J. WHEN WORLD VIEWS COLLIDE: A Study in Imagination and Evolution, Greenwood '89, 1st, (del Rey foreword), new no dj as issued 69.95

---And back in stock:
McCarthy, Patrick A., Charles Elkins & Martin Harry Greenberg (eds) THE LEGACY OF OLAF STAPLEDON: Critical Essays and An Unpublished Manuscript, Greenwood '89, 1st, new no dj as issued 54.95

Roberson, William H. & Robert L. Battenfeld WALTER M. MILLER, Jr.: A Bio-Bibliography, Greenwood '92, 1st, (glossaries), new no dj as issued 54.95

Shreffler, Philip A. THE H.P. LOVECRAFT COMPANION, Greenwood, 3rd, (offers a roadmap through Lovecraft's nightmare), new no dj as issued 62.95

---I also received a slightly damaged copy of:
Joshi, S.T. LORD DUNSANY: Master of the Anglo-Irish Imagination, Greenwood '95, 1st, (includes bibliography, index), new no dj as issued 69.95
which I guess I will send back. Also, this:
Joshi, S.T. & David E. Schultz AN H.P. LOVECRAFT ENCYCLOPEDIA, Greenwood '01, 1st, (exhaustive guide; essential), new no dj as issued 79.95
but the copies I have now are already spoken for. I will re-order again next time, whenever than may be.

---I am finally readying an order to send to Wildside, since one of the customers for the LOVECRAFT ENCYCLOPEDIA also wanted a couple books from Wildside. Later: word that the Wildside order is being processed, so maybe it will not be so long. Again, mainly books for special orderers and replacing sold-out stock. If I were to delve over their inventory a bit, I am sure the order could have been several times larger.

- Youssou N’Dour NOTHING’S IN VAIN (Xgau: A)
