After quite a while resting on my more or less laurels (past listings) it's time to get a move on and put up some more listings. My goal is five books every day from now on. This should be achievable, but not according to my past performance.
These books get listed in three places: on Amazon, Biblio, and Half. Books without ISBNs (older books) generally will not be listed on half. My prices might vary between these three places. Amazon and Half tell me competing prices, so I peg mine on them. Thus, if the lowest price for Deadly Percheron is $98 on Amazon, I might peg mine at $95. If it weren't my only copy maybe I'd be more reasonable. In fact, I think my Biblio listing is more reasonable.
Going forward (and possibly backward), links to titles of books will send you to the main Amazon listing. My listing will be somewhere amidst the other maybe 237 listings. This is where my photo of the book can be seen, which will probably be a better one than the one Amazon features. Half doesn't let me attach my own photo—at least I don't think it does. Photos are also at biblio. Lots of older listings still don't have photos. Nor updated prices.
I've been lousy at selling direct via email. Sorry about that, if you've tried me. Listing through the major portals keeps me honest—also prompt and reliable.

----Word from Golden Gryphon:
Greetings from the Gryphon:---where I still need to get that order placed. (Bruce McAllister being a favorite back in the day.) Well, the thunder and lightning are coming closer together again now, so I better cut this session short...
THE GIRL WHO LOVED ANIMALS AND OTHER STORIES, by Bruce McAllister, is now
available!
These seventeen stories showcase the author’s five decades of writing, including
his first professional sale, “The Faces Outside”—written at the ripe old age of sixteen—to
editor Frederik Pohl for the July 1963 issue of Worlds of if magazine.
In the near-future title story, a young woman offers her love—and her body—to
ensure the continuation of an animal species; and in a related story, “The Ark,” a little
girl’s life is psychically linked to the survival of two pandas, and her father does what he
must to ensure that all three will live.
Also included is McAllister’s best-known work, novelette “Dream Baby,” a finalist
for both the Hugo and Nebula awards, and the basis for his acclaimed novel of the same
name. In this dark and foreboding first-person narrative of the Vietnam War, a young
army nurse who dreams the deaths of her patients but cannot save them, finally
transcends the pain and violence of war and at last is able to save her fellow comrades
in arms who, in turn, save her.
Whether it be an elderly woman who uses her vast wealth to create genetically
her perfect son (“Angels”), or a young man who, having saved his 1950s-horror-movie
town from a horde of invading locusts, can no longer find meaning in his life until he
meets an invasion of a different kind (“Hero, The Movie”), or a young boy who learns the
rituals of an alien culture in order to obtain an assassin’s help for his unborn sister
(“Kin”), Bruce McAllister’s stories resonate with a childhood’s sense of wonder coming
face to face with the realities of the human condition in a science-fictional world.

Hello everyone,---If anyone wants to get this through me, let me know. I can let you know what discount I might be able to swing. Pretty good deal the 150-copy edition same price as the 850--maybe a misprint. I'm sure the Harlan Ellison intro will be in their hands, well, one of these days--only a matter of time.
Just to keep you informed on the status of the Artists
Inspired by H.P. Lovecraft book. This book is still waiting
for several key essays on artists, as well as the Harlan
Ellison introduction. We hope to have the book in the hands
of the printer by the first week of September, and then back
to the States by the end of February, after which copies
will be shipping.
Please let us know if this presents any difficulties with
those of you who have pre-ordered. We sincerely apologize
for any inconvenience that this delay is causing. On the
other hand, because of the delay, we have managed to secure
another work by Bob Eggleton, and a previously unpublished
work by Michael Whelan, as well as one by Lee Brown Coye,
and some other goodies as well.
The edition information is now set to:
850 copies in slipcase, $395
150 copies with extra prints in traycase, numbered, $395
50 copies with extra prints in traycase, leatherbound,
signed by most living contributors, $2,000
Thank you again for your patience and support.
Best Regards,
Jerad Walters

Robert thought long and hard about continuing the press from France but,
after some discussion and all things considered, we felt closing down the

What Can Be Saved from the Wreckage?
James Branch Cabell in the Twenty-first Century
by
MICHAEL SWANWICK
with a preface, Jurgen Down Under, by BARRY HUMPHRIES
Critical monograph examining the writings of American fantasist
James Branch Cabell (1879-1958), author of Jurgen.
6 x 9 inches, 64 pp.
Subscribers issue, 17 numbered copies hand bound, signed by Michael
Swanwick and Barry Humphries, each copy with a leaf signed by James
Branch Cabell.
Please inquire for subscription price, which includes shipping within
the USA and a copy of the trade issue.
The book is in press now.
Trade issue, 200 copies in paper covers, cover image at:
http://www.avramdavidson.org/wreckage.html
ISBN : 0-9764660-3-1 / ISBN-13 : 978-0-9764660-3-1
$15.
MICHAEL SWANWICK is author of a monograph on the fantastical literature
of Hope Mirrlees. His novels include Bones of the Earth and In The
Drift, and his short story collections include Gravity's Angels and The
Dog Said Bow-Wow. The front cover, Storisende: collage for Michael
Swanwick, forms part of the Catalogue of Unique Works in the Library
and Private Collections of Michael Swanwick (forthcoming).
BARRY HUMPHRIES is an Australian National Treasure, known worldwide for
creating the role of Dame Edna.
“It is hard to imagine today the magnitude of James Branch Cabell’s
fame in the early part of the last century. Cabell’s books were Mark
Twain’s chief reading in the great humorist’s declining years. Theodore
Roosevelt received him at the White House. The occultist Aleister
Crowley harried him with fan letters. H. L. Mencken was his advocate.
Sinclair Lewis, accepting the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1930,
mentioned him as one of a number of writers who might reasonably have
won it.
“Yet he died as good as forgotten.”

WELCOME to our first update in quite some time. There's a good deal of news. As many of you know, we moved from Seattle to Albuquerque in April.
