new arrivals

Haven't been many signs of life hereabouts lately. To try to remedy this, I think I will try pasting in newly cataloged books on a daily basis as they are cataloged. Heretofore I've been waiting to get discrete batches finished and then dropping the list in here, for anyone not bothering to check my "new to catalog listings". Listing here as I go along too might give me impetus to get working harder on getting the books actually cataloged rather than creating an obstacle course in our living room. To make for a very modest beginning, here is what I cataloged this morning -- some books I picked up at a local Goodwill not too long ago:

• Dietz, William C. WHEN ALL SEEMS LOST, Ace, 10/07, 1st edn, (A novel of The Legion of the Damned; military SF), vg+ in dj 6.00
• Weber, David & Steve White THE STARS AT WAR, Baen Megabook, 8/04, 1st thus, (collects Crusade [1992] and In Death Ground [1997]; the Prequels to The Shiva Option), vg+ in dj 5.00
• King, Stephen INSOMNIA, Book Club, (787 pages), vg+ in dj 5.00
• Reilly, Matthew CONTEST, Thomas Dunne/St. Martin's, 3/03, 1st US edn, (action-packed extravaganza that launched author's international bestselling career; previously self-published; set in New York Public Library), vg+ in dj 3.50

new issue of Space & Time

Here today:

SPACE AND TIME #104, sum-fall/08, (Harry Turtledove, Ruthanna Emrys, Chet Gottfried, Richard Parks), new 5.00

another box of books

Another box of books dropped in, this one 28# of mostly review copies, lots of them from the UK. Here are the bare titles:

9tailfox • ally • bloodmind • burdens of empire • carnival • darkland • days • deadstock • divergence • helix • hydrogen steel • infoquake • jennifer government • living next door to the god of love • matriarch • meq • narrows • nova swing • old man's war • one of us • outrageous fortune • polystom • pretender • rollback • snow • spin control • stamping butterflies • undertow • untied kingdom • virtual evil • voyage of the sable keech • wellstone • world before • x president

Hopefully I can get around to cataloging these before long, but I still have several other piles and boxes of books that I am trying not to find too out of the way a place to stash, lest they be completely overlooked.

Postscripts #14 here

This came in exactly three weeks ago, but I've neglected to catalog it until now:

POSTSCRIPTS #14, PS, ("The Ghosts We Have Become" by Paul Jessup; Rhys Hughes, Sarah Monette, Robert Reed, Jeff VanderMeer and others), as new 12.00
