More fifties horror comics. A Harvey Horrors 'Softie'--five newsprint facsimile reprints (complete with gaudy, shiny covers, ads, etc.), bound in one cool trade PB. This one is Witches Tales, 6 - 10. Some really weird, cruel stuff. Before they were the home of Richie Rich and Casper, Harvey did some of the goriest comics of the pre-code era, Witches Tales, Chamber of Chills, Tomb of Terror, Black Cat. These 'Softies' are anything but--and cheap. Gettin em used, five to ten bucks a pop.
Rottin my brain with these nasty funnybooks, gonna wind up stealing cars and getting in knife fights.

I would like to publicly apologize to my son. He just turned 26.
Waaaa , waaaaa, waaaa -- I forgot how old he was, BFD! Baby whiner. Get ahold of yourself.

Don't feel bad. I spent almost my entire thirty-seventh year thinking I was 38.
Well, if you add in the 9 months of gestation, he may actually be 27, right?I would like to publicly apologize to my son. He just turned 26.

Well, took a three day trip to Seattle to visit family and do alittle thriftstore/used bookstore shopping. Came home with an unread paperback of Under The Dome Part 1 (already had Part 2), an unread larger Scribner 1st paperback reprint (2012) of Black House, a nice paperback of Deadline by John Dunning, an unread paperback original of The Year's Best Horror Stories IX (contains The Monkey by you-know-who), a nice hardback copy of Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh and an unread beautiful ARC of The Damnation Game by Clive Barker.
I like that way of thinking!
Awsome great score
Today I came home with an absolutely beautiful unread hardback 1st printing of Cujo! Can't imagine where/how this book has been hidden all these years. Goodwill for $1.99!

Wow - you do have a lot of luck - great find!
AMAZING! So happy for you! Someday I will find a first edition of this book as well.
Great score there. A 1st printing Cujo has become quite hard to find these days, especially ones in good condition. I've had a NF 2nd printing for over 20 years now and have never found a passable 1st printing to take home. I could buy one online, but what fun would that be!

Woohoo! Score! I couldn't work in a thrift store. I'd have to buy all the books like that. How does one just drop off a 1st printing of Cujo at Goodwill?

Cleaning out a house or attic and not a Constant Reader I guess! ??
(I wish they had better King books at Value Village). If they find out someone is a collector they would probably jack up the prices.
(That used to be a cheap place to shop at one time).
We have only one used bookstore (and it's the size of a shoebox!) here. Local thrift stores have teeny book sections as well.

I ordered Joe Hill's Horns online a week and half ago - already have a hardcover first edition, but it was in very good condition and a great price (I do this sometimes when I can because I can always gift them to others). I've been hoping to luck out again like I did with Heart-Shaped Box - got a signed first edition! Well, believe it or not, it arrived in the mail today and it IS a signed first edition!! JH even doodled a little devil on the title page above his signature! I'm so happy and blessed. Been having a hard time lately and I am so grateful for the ray of sunshine.
