Our local comics/back-issue magazine/paperback collectors'
mall store in the Philly suburbs about once a year puts some
aspect of their stock on half-price. I've picked up a number
of John D. MacDonalds (including very vintage, if not all
that rare) for a buck or so each, a Vin Packer and Robert
Bloch or two, and not a few anthologies in the recent pb
half-price sale. The dealers are out there, and need your
support, and they often advertise in the cf magazines and the
about-cf magazines, which also need your support. And then
there're the auction sites... TM

access these days. I've never had more.
**************************
Due to the rara-avis list, my interest in books has now
stretched beyond the admittedly tremendous selection of
in-print books available at barnes and noble or
borders.
Many of the books I am interested in now are out of print.
Can I still get them? Yes. At a good price? Thats iffy, Joy.
I got two old Gores titles delivered to me for under
$5 apiece, but I had to pay $15 for an old Peter Rabe
tune,
_The Box_. And I'd like to get a collection of essays that
has a Bill Crider article in it. Only problem is they want
over $200 for it.
A lot of Willeford, Charles Williams, and Derek Raymond is
out of print. Thats only the tip of the iceberg.
Too much stuff outa print and going for more money than I
got. Can I cry on your shoulder? Buy me a beer and I'll think
of some more sad stories. ;-)
