I made a pilgrimage to Buffalo's Rust Belt Bookshop and scored several amazing finds!

Pictured are limited edition oversize vintage Heritage Press hardcover volumes of three of my all-time favorite golden age science fiction classics each in a sturdy original slipcase - Ray Bradbury's first major work, The Martian Chronicles (1974), and H.G. Wells' The Time Machine (1964) and War of the Worlds (1964)!

I also snatched up this handsome oversize coffeetable book of my beloved 1967 ITC series The Prisoner with a mint dust jacket written by Alain Carraze & Helene Oswald. This is the 1995 English translation from the original 1989 French text. It's rare to find Prisoner-related titles in the US, so I grabbed it right away!

These treasures will bring a smile to my face every time I pass them upon my shelf.

Really nice books, ISB. If I had been in that Rust Belt Bookshop before you, I might have bought those same four books myself.
I have a special affection for War Of The Worlds, because I am familiar with the places where the action plays out, starting with Horsell Common:-



And do we need any excuse to watch again one of the coolest title sequences in t.v. history:-

I found the third and final edition of Classics Illustrated I've been looking for at a vintage toy and comic show today! It was from the same fellow who sold me the restored edition of Metropolis at the last show I attended.

I now have all 3 of my favorite classic science fiction novels in vintage 1940s-50s comic book form - Frankenstein, The Time Machine, and War of the Worlds. Yay!

Songs of a Dead Dreamer and Grimscribe by Thomas Ligotti

Just some phenomenally written bizarro horror short stories. Really loving it.

Currently diving into "The Night Circus" by Erin Morgenstern, and it's pure enchantment. The intricate world-building and magical atmosphere have me spellbound.

The Great Gatsby, it's like stepping back in time. Highly recommend this classic!
