Yesterday the mailman delivered a nice 1st printing hardback of Bombs Away by John Steinbeck. It's in pretty good condition for a book that was published in 1942.

I hope that this book will tell you to give me all of your other books... I say, bring that book on!Okay, so I'm trying to build up my library with classic horror novels from the likes of Ira Levin, Peter Benchley, Thomas Tryon, etc. I've several times stated on the SKMB that I would NEVER have a copy of The Exorcist in my home again as I think it gives off bad-gunky vibes. But, last night I purchased a copy off of Ebay for a really good price. I'm letting you all know this because if some bad-gunky stuff starts happening to me then you all will know that I was right in the first place and to let me know to get rid of that book!!
I hope that this book will tell you to give me all of your other books... I say, bring that book on!
