Lamb - Big Time Score

So I stopped by my local Half Priced Books store and I found a hardback copy of Lamb.....first edition.....$5.98......oh yeah.

I had to gloat a little bit. I'm sorry but I had to tell someone.

YOU SUCK - no, not the book, YOU HC!

Not really, just jealous. Wicked good find

I managed to snag a 1st ed. Lamb about 2 years ago from an Amazon dealer. Has a remainder mark on the top, but the cover and the book are in great shape. Must have been stashed away out of prying hands.

This books also has the remainder mark on the top edge of the book but the book itself is in very good condition.

Must . . . restrain . . . fist . . . of . . . death . . .

Ah, fuck restraint. We can always get another noob. Cry Havoc, and set free the goggies of war!

That brings my CM collection to:

Lamb - 1st edition
Fluke - 1st edition signed
A Dirty Job - 1st edition

Nice way to add to the collection! Now you only have nine more, so get crackin'!

Those must have been books in hurt cartons, you guys. Lamb went into something like 11 printings, going right up to two months before the paperback came out. There were no remainders. Which is just another way of saying, SCORE!!!

(I didn't even get any "left over" Lambs, and I'm sorta sposed to get first dibs.)

Mmmmmm....

Leftover lamb...


With mint jelly...

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Just got a 1st edition, signed hardcover of "Lamb" on the 'Bay ! ! ! ! ! Only had to pay $630.00 for it too... NOT It was pretty reasonable.

Also got a 1st edition, signed hardcover of "Coyote Blue" from someone else on there.

I didn't pay extra, not really (and "Lamb" isn't signed after all...yet ). I paid about $20 bucks over MSRP on "Lamb" and about cover + S&H on "Demonkeeping". Not a bad score at all

I never pass up AG HC's when I'm thrifting, so if there are any others you're missing...

Oh heaven's yes Let's see:

"Coyote Blue"
"Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove"
"Island of the Sequined Love Nun"
"Fluke"
"Blood-Sucking Fiends"

I have copies of all of those, but not HC. I've been driving the used book store nuts
