I'm a bit through with ordering through internet, because often you get books damaged. It's really hard, even from major sellers like Amazon, to get a book without dents and damages, because they simply don't package it well.
I may look around some English sections of bookstores, but basically his books aren't around much anymore. They don't seem to get reprints often. When I'm in English sections I just don't see them ever. Well, only Psycho of course, as it's become so famous because of the movie.
But in the US his books are still widely available?

I think I read some of his stories in an anthology though. I don't remember which ones though and if I liked them.

Do you feel the Amicus films (Asylum and The House that Dripped Blood) do the stories justice?
That's too bad, I never have a problem with deliveries from amazon, but that is a long way to ship items for you..I don't recall ever seeing either of those movies..

It varies from area to area, but I quit with ordering from Internet, apart from trusted stores. Some stores care to deliver it in good order, but most don't. And basically anyone can sell through Internet now, whether they have means to package well or not, and most don't.
