---Hopefully my guilty conscience about all the things in my line-up of things to do will spur me to become diligent starting today. I just threw up shell postings for the past week. I do have material to fill in with, but that will have to wait, at least for now.

---Picked up three heavy boxes of books on half-price day at the big Planned Parenthood book sale last day. Not much I could have said I was looking for, but lots of finds. About 40% to go in the catalog, the rest are things that looked like they would otherwise be of interest. Usually I take such books and put them away in boxes, to be re-found again at some future date. Lots of those boxes in storage now, but the ones here for supposed consignment sales claim greater priority.

---Interesting to see Neil’s picture on the Howard Dean Blog for America website. Good to get an inkling what all that all-night keyboard clatter was all about all summer. The sympatico programming crew profiled there makes me feel bad his on-line meetings were frequently stymied by our puny dial-up AOL internet connection; and by how hot it would get in his upstairs room, where despite central air in the house, it would be more like an attic sauna after days on end in the upper nineties. Unfit for computers and people trying to write code, but great to see how it may have been worthwhile. I just hope he doesn’t crash and burn thinking he can continue to usurp the basic principles of human sleep need.

“Howdy all!
Busy season is upon us, and we've got a whole pile of goodies for you.
We're currently shipping three news titles:
Midnight Sun - Karl Edward Wagner. Our long-overdue collection of Kane stories is now shipping. The trade is available now, and the limited (which is sold out) should start shipping in a couple of weeks.
The Empress of Mars - Kage Baker. A cool novella set in and around a bar on Mars, with a cool afterword by Kage. The limited is shipping now (and is selling quickly), the lettered will probably be a couple of weeks.
IN & OZ - Steve Tomasula. A Ministry of Whimsy title, and the first hardcover title from the Ministry. IN & OZ is a novel of art, love, auto mechanics, and two places: the actualities of the here and now and the desire for somewhere better. You can't go wrong for $25!
And we're not done yet! We've got several more titles coming very soon:
The Stormwatcher - Graham Joyce. A Graham Joyce novel, what else needs saying? Starts shipping around the 25th.
The Thackery T. Lambshead Pocket Guide to Eccentric and Discredited Diseases - ed. by Jeff VanderMeer and Mark Roberts, with contributions by Alan Moore, China Mieville, Michael Moorcock, Neil Gaiman, Jeff Ford, Kage Baker, Steve Rasnic Tem, and about 60 other people. The trade starts shipping the first week of October. The limited is still waiting on signatures, so probably won't ship until November.
Bubba Ho-Tep - Joe R. Lansdale & Don Coscarelli. Bubba will start shipping around the 15th of October, and is selling *very* well. It probably won't be sold out on publication, but it's looking like it'll be sold out very shortly thereafter.
Red World of Polaris - Clark Ashton Smith. This is finally at the printer, and should ship not too long after Bubba. We haven't got a ship date yet, but should have one shortly. This one is already out of print, so contact one of the dealers on our Links page and get your order in soon!
After that, we're taking a break for a few weeks, but look for the second Hodgson volume in November.
Over the course of the next few weeks, we'll start revealing the 2004 schedule, so keep an eye on the site.
That's it for now,

And coming back I decided to bypass the turnoff for home and run three more quarter-mile markers, adding yet another 1.5 miles. I figured I better try to stretch out the run so I would be sure to take a day off tomorrow. These nice fall days it is hard to go down into the cellar to work. Much easier to go for a run.

“RICHARD MATHESON'S KOLCHAK SCRIPTS NOW AT THE PRINTER
FOR LATE-NOVEMBER PUBLICATION
We are now taking orders for Richard Matheson's Kolchak Scripts which is at the printers for a late-November release. The 408 page 8 x 11 book includes three never before published Kolchak scripts penned by Matheson: "The Night Stalker" and "The Night Strangler" ABC-TV Movies of the Week which led to the Kolchak series, and "The Night Killers" which was to be a third Movie of the Week and remains optioned by Dan Curtis. Acclaimed Kolchak chronicler Mark Dawidziak edited the book and spoke with, among others, Matheson, Dan Curtis, Kolchak creator Jeff Rice and co-author of "The Night Killers" William F. Nolan. X-Files creator Chris Carter provides an afterword. The book includes over 30 illustrations (many of them never-before published from the archives of Dan Curtis and private collectors). The lettered edition contains an additional 8 never-before published illustrations.
The book comes in two states:
500 copy signed numbered edition (signed by Matheson)
52 copy lettered edition (signed by Matheson, Dan Curtis, William F. Nolan and editor Mark Dawidziak). The book will be housed in a lavish tri-fold traycase (similar to that used for PRIDE) and will contain a copy of a page from "The Night Killers" script signed by Matheson. Each lettered edition will contain a DIFFERENT page from the script, adding to its collectibility.
We had to negotiate the rights to publish this book with ABC-TV (among others) and can publish no more than the 500 numbered and 52 lettered copies. Kolchak fans have already purchased a portio of our print run.”
---Cost of the numbered edition is $150 or $125 if pre-ordered. The lettered edition is $750 (get from publisher, or try me with a $25 discount).

---Rec’d an email solicitation from Delirium Books, which I have not been carrying very much:
“Dear Bookseller,
As of this year, Delirium Books has become one of the leading specialty
press publishers in the horror genre. I've just announced that Delirium
Books will no longer deal with BN.com and Amazon.com, or any other corporate
chain bookstores. Instead, 100% of Delirium's focus is sales through
independent booksellers like yourself. As now is the prime time to invest
in stocking Delirium titles and an important time for Delirium to make new
connections with independent booksellers, like yourself, I ask that you
please look over the information below and let me know your stance on
possibly stocking some of Delirium titles.
I have listed below a number of reasons why you, as a bookseller, could
benefit from stocking these titles:
Shipping is free for all media mail shipments. Delirium now packages its
books in custom-made re-inforced boxes, wrapping books in bubble wrap for
safe shipping. Delirium assumes all expenses on damaged books in freight
and will replace them free of charge.
Delirium Books no longer deals direct with the corporate chain
bookstores such as Borders, Barnes and Noble and Amazon.com. So the
majority of books are sold through indie booksellers. Furthermore, Delirium
promotes sales through indie booksellers first and foremost, placing lists
of active booksellers in all ads placed in magazines. The Delirium Books'
website also has an extensive listing of booksellers, their web address and
other contact information for ordering direct. Each month, we put out a
newsletter that goes out to over 1200 subscribers which we include a
featured bookseller's section (one different bookseller gets the spotlight
here and on the main page of the website).
Collectibility. Delirium titles are of the highest in collectibility,
due to both smaller print runs (generally from 300-500 limited editions), as
well as having a cast of authors who have become both rising stars and
mainstays in the genre. These talents include Brian Lumley, Douglas Clegg,
William F. Nolan, Jack Ketchum, Brian Keene, Tom Piccirilli, Charlee Jacob,
Jeffrey Thomas, David B. Silva and others. Each limited edition is signed
and numbered.
Product. Delirium Books' prides itself on producing its books at one of
the highest quality standards in the small press. Each regular limited
edition hardcover has acid-free pages and end papers, includes full color
dust jackets which are laminated and also acid-free. The binding to these
limited HCs is top-grade vellum stock, ultra-bound with the spine notched
and co-polynmer threaded through the spine to strengthen the binding.
Deluxe books are printed with acid-free papers and end papers, the binding
is made of genuine soft black leather which is manually over-sewn to insure
attractiveness and also durability. Foil stamp designs grace both editions
(lim. HC and deluxe leather-bound). More on the product we offer can be
found at: http://www.deliriumbooks.com/bindspecs.htm.
Delirium works with each individual bookseller to help them sell books.
From creating custom fliers to posters to providing actual upright diplays
for physical bookstores, we work for the bookseller to help you move our
titles more effectively.
Please take a minute and check out Delirium's website at:
http://www.deliriumbooks.com. Forthcoming titles in the hardcover book line
include The Attraction by Douglas Clegg, All the Lonely People by David B.
Silva, Honey Is Sweeter Than Blood by Jeffrey Thomas and Brian Keene's Fear
of Gravity.
We also publish one of the most successful book collectors' series called
The Ultra Line. Each book in this series is limited to 26-52 copies only,
the books bound in genuine leather, encased in a beautiful genuine leather
hinged box. Titles are available to customers on a reservation period of 90
days. Optional inscriptions are included with orders and customer's names
get placed directly on the special thanks page, bound in these editions.
The current title up for reservation is Sixteen Sucking Stories by Brian
Lumley. Future titles will include works by Douglas Clegg, James Morrow,
William F. Nolan and many more.
Lots more on the website, including the Dark Essentials Series and the Dark
Homage Series.
Sincerely,
Shane Staley

---Just received a well-deserved chew-out call from someone I need to send some books to, but first I need to catalogue a consignment-box of books he sent way too long ago. This kind of secondary-to-cash transaction continually gets sent to the back seat. There is always a full load in the passenger seat, so I never seem to get around to it. Certainly I could do it if I would watch fewer DVDs or read fewer magazines or spent less time in otherwise foolish pursuits.
