---Finally catching up on neglected blog posts with at least enough for entries to have dates up there for potential expansion later. Seems it was maybe about this time last year as well when I let the blog slide more than usual. Must be my disrupted routine from often having someone already using the computer during my peak moment of the day, when I might otherwise be at it, as can occur during summer break.

---With the Stark House book that arrived a couple days ago, I notice a brochure listing the Aphelion Publications from Australia they also distribute. I think I already have most of the titles in stock, but I notice an anthology edited by Peter McNamara--WONDER YEARS: Ten Best--I should add to my order file. They also distribute for Beacon Books (Mystery/Sherlock Holmes/Historical Mysteries) from Australia and Dimsdale Press (Lesbian/SF) with one title: WORLD CELAENO CHOSE by Jane Fletcher (“Set in a world without men--where Church rules the State--this is the story of young DNA imprinter Lynn, who meets the worldly and courageous Kim as she escorts her through the mountains to Landfall, the holiest of the Temple sites. But as the two women grow closer, they know they are putting themselves in grave danger.”)

---Order finally sent to Night Shade is being processed with just the ltd. of FOURTH CIRCLE by Zoran Zivkovic being among the recent-release and upcoming books I will not be able to get. Seems I would have gotten it, but the shipping clerk lossed half the run, possibly sending them to distributors as trade edn copies. Here are the books I ordered with publisher’s acknowledgement:
> ANCIENT TRACK / Lovecraft 20.00
The trade paper is sold out.
> BANQUET OF THE LORDS OF NIGHT /Liz Williams 45.00
No problem.
> BOATS OF THE "GLEN CARRIG" / Hodgson 35.00
> COLLECTED JORKENS vol. 1 / Dunsany 35.00
No problem, both of these are in-stock.
> COLLECTED JORKENS vols. 2+ (if not already in your system)
No problem.
> EMPRESS OF MARS / Baker 35.00
No problem, in stock.
> FOURTH CIRCLE / Zivkovic 45.00
> GHOSTS OF YESTERDAY / Cady (ltd.) 45.00
Both of these are sold out. We've only got trades left. (I added trades to the order).
> GIANTS FROM ETERNITY / Wellman
> LETTERS FROM NEW YORK / Lovecraft 40.00
No problem.
> RED WORLD OF POLARIS / Smith 35.00
> SIN'S DOORWAY / Wellman 35.00
> STORMWATCHER / Joyce 40.00
No problem, these are in-stock.
> STRANGERS ON THE HEIGHTS / Wellman

> DISEASES / VanderMeer 24.00
No problem, in stock.
> VIATOR / Shepard 45.00
No problem.
> also: I should be down for Hodgson vol. 3+ already
Yep, got you down.
---Also I should have a standing order for trade editions of anything they put out. Limiteds will be available either by special order or by hit or miss. Jason at Night Shade did apprise me of a couple new titles that looked to be imminent sellouts which I neglected to put in my order, and I told him to go ahead and add them too. Any other Night Shade books I could certainly put in for. Others not in the present order that are still NYP I should have in their system still, if I ordered them earlier.

---Picnic day with a couple dozen of Amy’s family. Last night was dinner with much the same crew. Neil found time yesterday as well to wreck our other car--the one he drove forty miles every day for a couple years in high school to Central Campus in downtown Des Moines for the AP classes not offered at his home high school. He had not been driving while away in college for 1.75 years or in San Francisco--only bicycling and riding the rapid transit system--so maybe he forgot that car driving requires that attention be paid. Fortunately the airbag deployed, probably saving him from death or head-injury. Good thing he didn't have any of his riding buddies in the car with him. Afterward I noticed a new tuft of gray in my hair. It was a bit scary.
---The restaurant and picnic honoring my mother-in-law on the occasion of her 80th birthday were quite something. I know I will never be in line for such a deal, but I hope not because I don’t live that long.
---Disc Log:
- my CD COMP 30 (free for the asking - if you want to hear it too)

Most of the work I have been doing involves filling orders--the thing I should least neglect but which results in the least to impart here.

---Having family from out of town over for dinner tonight as start of festivities for mother-in-law’s 80th birthday. Some twenty-five people expected at picnic shelter at nearby campground tomorrow. Son Neil is flying home from San Francisco for a couple days of no doubt intense questioning and scrutiny. I am looking forward to all of it, but I wonder how much work I will get done. It is not like I have been taking full advantage of my chances when I have had them as is.

---Once again it looks like my efforts to get some work done will be stymied by thunderstorms scheduled for this afternoon. The gloomster weather forecasters have three or four inches falling on us in the next twelve hours and flood warnings have already been posted. So far it is just cloudy but I don’t know how long it will be before I have to shut down the computer and run for cover.

---Here today from PS Publishing: their new magazine (PostScripts #1), at very short discount plus postage so I will have to price it “as new” $12 (10% discount to members of discount plan), instead of the list of $10 (with 15% usual PS discount). The magazine is actually heftier than their $16 chapbooks, with lots of great-looking material. Plus I believe they are only publishing as many as they sell up-front, so once my few copies are gone it may well be that I won’t be able to get any more.

Not that I feel much compunction to give it another try, which is not to say that they--and Subterranean--don’t put out lots of tremendously good books, but there is this bit:

hi
I wanted to check on the condition of this book--Is this new as in unread and no spine creases?
Thanks
This title can be found at the following URL:
http://www.biblio.com/details.php?dcx=7974537
Or, may be ordered directly by visiting the following URL:
https://www.biblio.com/checkout1.php?dcx=7974537
---My reply:
Yes, new or "as new" indicate unread, straight from the publisher. I still have books that were published a few years ago that are new, even though by now they might be getting old. Even so, I have had them wrapped in plastic, so they are still shiny and in new condition. In fact I have three new copies of HEADHUNTER. Books described as "new" are listed at publisher's price. Books listed as "as new" are in new condition but have the price modulated (up or down).
Yours,
Chris

---I opened up a new email account with Google: Cdrummbks@gmail.com. The price is right and some of the features might end up being usable, plus I am a little leery of aol possibly losing some mail when my inbox gets too full, like when I might be away for a few days. I am not changing email addresses officially just yet, and I am not sure how often I will be checking this new one, but down the road this may be the way I will go. Go ahead and send anything to me at this new address. I haven’t tested it myself. The idea of bigtime storage capacity, at least, might be something good to have.
---Later: I have been unable to access my Google email account except in OS-X on the upstairs eMac, even then with an unsupported browser. This may open up in future, but for now this email account is something I won’t be checking very often.
---Disc Log:
- my CD COMP 28 (free for the asking - if you want to hear it too) - getting these things turned out too often, maybe.

Cisco's 'The Tyrant', here's 177 pages of frothing, ranting
madwoman-on-something literature that's likely to leave you wondering what
exactly was in that sugar cube you put in your cup of tea this morning.
Assuming, of course, that surreal, monsterific madness is your cup of tea. I
can't think of any better way to start the day." and "This is not your
