05/28/04 FRI:
---Took the scenic route back to Polk City from Columbia--avoiding Hwy. 63 like the plague. Indeed northern Missouri is a scenic place. The roads were smooth but windy and hilly--and void of other traffic. It was a picture-perfect day and I had plenty of time. One concern about getting back was to dump all the spam email that would have accumulated since the last time I dealt with it on Tuesday, in case my in-box was getting too full to accept legitimate emissives. That was about the third thing I did when I got back. I hope nothing legit got bounced. Now I have to catch up--not that I was even close to being caught up enough to allow for a few days being taken off as it was. I like to think I am not the electric company or the cable guy, so maybe I can claim a little leeway--but I think the amount of leeway I have been taking has become out of hand. I will try to get back to work now!

---We drove back from Sikeston to Columbia, where I left my parents for their return to California. I still had a five-hour drive back to Polk City, so I looked up an old friend thereabouts and cadged a night's sleep and conviviality--another contact I am glad I restored. I think I ended up actually sleeping better on his couch than in either of the motel rooms the previous two nights.

05/26/04 WED:
---Everything went well in our travels--at least as well as could be expected under the circumstances. My father did well in the speech he was concerned about giving. I was touched by the nice reception I received--the hitherto wayward relationship who had not stayed in touch. Back when I was a kid I saw a bit of Uncle Manny, Aunt Pat, and cousins Jennifer and Susan, but not at all since. Still, they were as nice as could be. I know they are going through a tough time. I am really glad I didn't let that last thread of contact be cut. I will try to make sure it continues to not stay cut. A big shame it had to come at Manuel's funeral.

05/25/04 TUE:
---Made it through another stormy night without meeting our final doom. Others hereabout have been more greatly inconvenienced, so our luck held out through this go-round. The rest of the workweek promises a nice drying out period, so I am glad for that. The tornado siren down the street went off only twice yesterday evening--versus four or five times a couple nights before--and the power was out for about three hours. Kind of relaxing sitting there in the dark for a while. The two or three inches of rain piledriving into our leaky frontporch windows had subsided by then, sopping just about the full complement of my old-towel supply. Nothing else too crazy I can see from it so far. But after all this rain it might take a couple days for it to make the sump pump have to do its job. It has not been run in years and I have not tested it as I should--so there’s still a chance of being victimized!
---After hastily posting the above, I headed out for a few days on the road. Met my parents in Columbia, MO, then drove together down to Sikeston, MO for the funeral services of my uncle Manuel Drumm. My father had to give one of the speeches, so he was understandably apprehensive as well as upset over the loss of his brother. Combine that with concerns over his own health, as an octogenarian, and it was a dicey situation at times.

05/23/04 SUN:
---We survived the onslaught of tornadoes popping up all over the place. A more-than-three-inch deluge of rain overnight has me cranking up the basement fans and dehumidifiers. So far so good, but more of this I could do without. The worst part is the weathercasters on TV with their nonstop fancy radar--certainly heightens the apprehension.

---Here today from Norton:
Leithauser, Brad (ed) THE NORTON BOOK OF GHOST STORIES, Norton ('94), 1st edn, (surprising gathering of writers redefines the genre; 430 pp), new in dj $25
---I wonder why this is showing up only now, all by its lonesome; but it is welcome no less. I also wonder how successful a re-order would be.
---Amy, sleuthing the Internet for news about Neil’s doings came up with an article in The Mercury News (San Jose) that mentions him, where he is working for CivicSpace Labs as co-founder and “lead engineer”.
---Finally have twelve pages of “Recent Arrivals” to print out. The list is always in such a state of flux that I am sure if I don’t get these sheets reduced and laid out immediately I will have to reprint them again. I was waiting for a nice even number. Every time I would get close a host of deletions would occur.

05/17/04 MON:
---Book here today from Necro: SUCCUBI by Edward Lee (tpb, $19.95). Originally published in 1992, blurbed as “unrelenting, erotic, and thrillingly perverse.”
---Got a start working on the next batch of listings to post to biblio.com, which will take me through Rohan in the alphabet, including Roc paperbacks. I hope I don’t take as long this time to actually get the upload ready.
---Posted new paperback arrivals (see 05/13/04, 03/15/04 and 02/28/04). One I haven’t listed yet I checked the pricing in ABE and saw the cheapest copy there for $35 with others at $40 and above. It was one in the Vampire Series by Robert Lory. Maybe I will try out a listing on eBay. I will have to get Amy to bring me up to speed on using the scanner, so I will have an image to upload--if that is the norm for selling on eBay.

---Received both April and May issues of LOCUS today. I better go through them while at the computer, because I see books listed and reviewed I maybe ought to put in my order file--such as the Hugo nominees. I have been falling increasingly out of touch with what is being published, the less I bother to find books to order from publishers that aren’t already in my order file.
---Disc Log:
- Duke Ellington THE TREASURY SHOWS, Vol. 1 (2CD)
- Basement Jazz ROOTY (Xgau: A Minus)

05/14/04 FRI:
---When I went to try to do a little catch-up on blog entries, to at least have a little something for possible backfill later, I noticed www.blogger.com was quite transmogrified--something which I guess is endemic to the Internet. Old sites are stale sites. There are plenty of abandoned efforts out there. I am not sure all the bugs are out of this version, but checking into it a bit I notice I can enable a comments feature. So maybe now if anyone wants to make any comments they can do so. I haven't necessarily wanted this to always be a one-way street, so I welcome any comments that anyone might think of to post. In that spirit maybe I will try to be a little more comment-worthy in my postings. Certainly a lot occurs to comment on, but I don't want to be just uttering things which are obvious and probably ill-informed, not that that stops anyone. Anyway, it looks like another fun little thing to have be out there.
---Working on new package insert sheets now that I have three pages of new-arrival paperbacks printed out. Maybe I will include info on the new Golden Gryphon books I expect to be here any day now.
---Ran five miles in best time since last December (44:34). The coolness of the air this morning--probably in the low 40s and overcast--was the chief enabling factor.

05/13/04 THU:
---Woke up at 4am to the tune of thunder and lightning, so I will be running tired today.
---Still have the mountain of undone things to do, but I got an urge to break open one of the boxes of used books that are sitting around here unopened since they first arrived. That was not the plan, but I never seem to have a good opportunity to catalog books, when I always have ones that are already sold, or are new books which take up more of my inventory capital. Not that cataloguing books is not the most fun for me. Sometimes I get caught up in the books, and it takes longer than it should to do the cataloguing, but it is probably educational.

---Here today from Gryphon: PAPERBACK PARADE #61 & PRIMAL SPILLANE (Early Stories: 1941-1942).
---And word from Golden Gryphon:
Greetings from the Gryphon:
SECRET LIFE, by Jeff VanderMeer, is now available!
In Secret Life, VanderMeer’s newest short fiction collection, readers
can return to the world of Ambergris, where the author has set five of these
stories, including “Corpse Mouth and Spore Nose,” a new story written
exclusively for this volume. But Jeff VanderMeer is a man of many worlds,
as reflected in his travels and in his fiction: “Balzac’s War,” set in the same
milieu as the author’s first novel, Veniss Underground, is a harrowing,
powerful far-future novella that pits brother against brother in a landscape
ravaged by war with Earth’s newly sentient human-made species. In
thirteenth-century Cambodia, a lone artist is torn between his love of his
craft and his unspoken love for a woman in “The Bone Carver’s Tale.” In
“The Emperor’s Reply” and “The Compass of His Bones,” in seventeenth-
century Peru, the last Incan Emperor, having brutally fallen at the hands of
the Conquistadors, seeks his revenge. Every summer you can join us at
“The Festival of the Freshwater Squid,” in Sebring, Florida, to observe the
annual mating rituals of the mayfly squid.
With personal notes by the author detailing each story’s genesis, and an
Introduction by Jeffrey Ford, a New York Times Notable Author and winner
of the World Fantasy Award for Golden Gryphon Press collection, The
Fantasy Writer’s Assistant and Other Stories.

BREATHMOSS AND OTHER EXHALATIONS, by Ian R. MacLeod, is now
available!
Trade edition: $24.95
Limited, signed edition: $100.00
The acclaimed short fiction of Ian R. MacLeod combines fantasy, science fiction, and horror
in an astonishing range of settings where the strange and the real intermingle in fresh,
humane, and endlessly surprising ways. In “Breathmoss,” nominated for the Hugo award, a
young girl must cope with love and family ties when an ancient space pilot appears on her
home planet in a wildly distant universe where men are nearly extinct. In “Verglas,”
nominated for the Locus Poll award, a father must decide whether to leave his humanity and
join his family by going native on a remote ice world. During WWII an eighteen-year-old
girl gains the reputation of being “The Chop Girl” (winner of the World Fantasy Award,
nominated for the Hugo award) – a death flower, notorious for bringing death to any airman
she dates. But what happens when the chop girl meets a famously lucky flyer, the one who
always returns? A distinguished composer helps a young girl seemingly lost in a forest, who
teaches him that there is magic in the world he has been ignoring, especially near “The
Noonday Pool.” An alcoholic scientist finds himself the last person still to be looking for
extraterrestrial life. All common sense and evidence argue that his quest is hopeless, but
even death holds promise in “New Light on the Drake Equation.” The ritually blinded
members of a religious order are responsible for bringing sunlight to a star-encompassing
world. But Isabel finds the constraints of her duties burdensome, and seeks love and
knowledge in a near-endless library to become the tragic and redemptive heroine of “Isabel
of the Fall.” In an alternate history, England loses WWI, and succumbs to fascism. Jews and
gypsies are relocated to islands off the coast of Scotland, and homosexuals are offered
“treatment” at camps. As events unravel toward a history-shaking moment, the story is told
from the perspective of an aging historian and homosexual, a one-time friend of the
deceptively charming fascist leader. Resounding with Englishness, filled with visions of
Oxford and London as they nearly were, all the horrors of repression and a society in denial
are brilliantly examined in “The Summer Isles,” winner of the World Fantasy Award and
nominated for the Hugo award.
The limited edition is signed by both author Ian R. MAcLeod and artist Bob Eggleton, and
is numbered (1-100). This edition is only available directly from Golden Gryphon Press.

Teratologist
ISBN: 0972915710
Hardcover
Edward Lee,

$30.00
Softcover

Teratologist: A billionaire obsessed with the idea of offending God so extremely in order for God to confront him abducts the most grievously genetically deformed people he can find. Then he sets out and kidnaps priests and nuns forcing them to have sex with the deformed. Photographs of the sex-acts are sent to newspapers, the internet becomes flooded with these images; a church-damning scandal ensues. It's some of the most distasteful erotic horror ever written.

04/26/04 MON:
---Rec’d a catalog a couple days ago from Five Star, a division of Gale, which seems to be publishing some interesting SF titles. I had a few in my order file and was planning to get an order out eventually, but I haven’t always had the best luck with Gale--a library-oriented publisher with expensive books and short discounts. Now it looks like I might fare a bit better with Five Star. I couldn’t find the titles that were in my order file in their catalog, but there were some others that looked promising. I will save their forthcoming titles for another order, so as not to have them be trickling in by ones and twos. Here is what I am trying for now: ARISTOTLE AND THE GUN / de Camp, DEUS X AND OTHER STORIES / Spinrad, IMMERSION AND OTHER SHORT NOVELS / Benford, UNCANNY TALES / Sheckley, GOD IS AN IRON / Spider Robinson, RETRIEVAL ARTIST / Rusch, STAR SONG / Zahn.
---Speaking of orders, I still haven’t rec’d the one I sent to Warner a while ago. Maybe I will have to initiate inquiries.
---Email sent:
Things are starting dry out here. Looks like I will have to haul out the lawnmower later today.
To answer your question about Poul Anderson's GOING FOR INFINITY (first published in 2002), quoting from the dj copy: it is "both a celebration and a memoir of Anderson's distinguished sixty-year career in sf & fantasy. Along with several Hugo and Nebula Award-winning stories, Anderson also shares autobiographical musings and fond memories as he looks back at a lifetime spent crafting many of sf's most memorable adventures." (416 pages)
I don't believe I did try for:
> Daniel Rothman's Yes, Philip, Androids Dream Electric Sheep is for a modified
> clarinet that is played and sounds idiomatically but is also a computer
> interface. In this work, tuned clarinet multiphonics are filtered and used
> in a feedback situation. The CD is available through CDeMusic.org, an online
> music resource for new music. If this is not the information you need,
> please don't hesitate to write back. Can you tell us where you found out
> about this CD?
> Los Angeles River Records
unless it was when you first asked and I did not receive a reply. At any rate, it looks like maybe I could get it through CDeMusic.org. Are there any others from this outfit you might be after?
I have added your new orders to my order file. I hope I can get a few of them sent out soon. Thanks!
Yours,
Chris

Chris,
I hope the AOL address is a good e-mail address but, anyway, I've found
myself picking up your booklets (non-Lafferty) and reading and enjoying
them. I've picked up as much as is reasonable and now it seems that I
should be seeing if you are still selling any or have any available.
And I found your BLOG and would like to get on your mailing list.
So, if you are still kicking, just let me know as you can. Since we worked
together I've become a travelling consultant and am taking a month off now,
between jobs. My computer crapped out on me and I've just spent all weekend
rebuilding it from XP on up - whew.
So take care, I'm glad (or hope) you are still around in "da biz" and etc.
Peace,
---My reply:
Great to get your email. Sorry about my delay in responding. I need to get better at keeping up with things as they come in. Sure, I am still in the book business, but I seem to be slowing down. My initiatives seem to be going off on tangents quite a bit. I have added your email to my updates list. Pretty soon I need to get something new out there, generally just ticking off new arrivals since last update. For anything more peripheral you need to visit my blog. I have a lot of entries I need to add in for the archives. Eventually I hope to get around to it.
I still haven't been doing any new Drumm Booklets. I have one for Don Webb that has been in the computer for a while: I just need to go through his copy-edits and drag the pages around to where they need to be for printout-ready usage. But there are always these pesky loose ends to try to tie.
Yours,
Chris

Hey, Chris. Are you still around? I emailed you a while back about copies of
the new Ed Lee book I have MESSENGER. All original, hardcover, signed and

wondering if you wanted any. I also have the new anthology DAMNED with
Ketchum, Lee, Hodge, Piccirilli and more. $50 list. Let me
know if you'd like any of these titles. I'll be doing a lot of shipping next

Sorry about my failure to respond. I meant to, but I guess it got caught in the current. I should probably just stick with having my standing order be for paper editions. I will query my depleted-by-lack-of-print-catalogs-being-sent-lately constituency about the hardcovers and let you know if I need any.
