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.
