More books

[changeling]

Yep, here's the next round of books I'm getting rid of. I said I had a fair few. There's even more to come.

Here's the last post.

FICTION

CHILDREN'S

Only You Can Save Mankind, Terry Pratchett. Paperback. First of the Johnny Maxwell series. Reasonable nick. Signed to me, due to Author's inability to grasp that I wanted to have it signed to my sister at the end of a long day of two different signings (poor bugger). $4

Horrible Histories: The Groovy Greeks and The Rotten Romans (Two Horrible Books in One), Terry Deary & Martin Brown Hardcover. Good gift for small relatives. $7

The Worst Witch, Jill Murphy Paperback. This book was MY Harry Potter when I was growing up. It's not quite as Epic, but at least it has a girl as the main character. The villain looks an awful lot like Draco Malfoy in drag, come to think of it. A lot. Excellent nick. $5

FANTASY

Stardust, Neil Gaiman Paperback, good nick. Would you believe I had three copies of this at one stage? Two mass-market paperbacks, and one trade. This version has the pretty enamelled-forest cover. $5

LITERATURE

Celestial Navigation, Anne Tyler Paperback, excellent nick. Anne Tyler might be for some, but she ain't for me. $5

A Case of Need, Michael Crichton Paperback. Stock in good nick, but cover a little work. Cover is in turquoise foil, for some reason. I loved this book (it's probably my favourite Crichton, funnily enough), but I've probably read it often enough for one life. $5

Scarlet and Black, Stendhal I think I bought this because I read an article on it on Salon.com, or somewhere. Paperback, good heavy quality stock. Cover slightly worn, but in excellent nick considering it's over 50 years old.

GRAPHIC NOVELS

Ghost World, Daniel Clowes Yep, the book that spawned the movie. Paperback, excellent nick. $5

HORROR

Love in Vein II: Eighteen More Original Tales of Vampire Erotica, ed. Poppy Z. Brite Good nick. Paperback.

NON-FICTION

The Oxford History of the French Revolution, William Doyle Paperback. Good nick. A classic of the subject. $5

Introducing Kafka, David Zane Mairowitz, illustrated by ROBERT CRUMB. Ah, university bookshop, how I miss thee. My wallet doesn't, though. Paperback, good nick. $5

Oh oh! Can I get Stardust from you?

[watersusurrus.livejournal.com]

For you, it is $1304/3 + $5, ;P

[shinyandnat.livejournal.com]

Expensive book! So what, $440 all together?

[watersusurrus.livejournal.com]

Yep, :D

[shinyandnat.livejournal.com]

I'll bring it tonight!!

[watersusurrus.livejournal.com]

Thanks, :) We probably won't have the book then (as it's still at home...)

[shinyandnat.livejournal.com]

That's ok! I can pick it up at Mabon.

[subtle-eye.livejournal.com]

Will be happy to take Ghost World and Introducing Kafka off your hands.

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

No worries. How shall I get them to you?

[subtle-eye.livejournal.com]

Is rehearsal on Monday an option?
Failing that: I work in the CBD, just behind Spencer St Station. Is a lunchtime/after work rendezvous possible?

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

In theory, yes. Failing that, I'm now working on Swanston St so I can definitely rendezvous during the week.

ok...so...I'll be the teenager here and say...can I PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE get Love in vein II? :s
God I suck :/

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

Of course!

Poppy has taste. There are a few really good authors in there from memory, including Caitlin R. Kiernan and Neil Gaiman.

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

Email me and let me know when we can meet up next week. Barring Monday I'm working in the city, on Swanston St.

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

Please let me know how to get the book to you ASAP. I really don't want to move these books with me if I can avoid it.

[gin-n-chocolate.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry about the replying delay. ok. Do you have the book at stephs. I'm at uni wednesday thursday and can arrange any other day for me to swing by. tell me when you're at steph's with the book and I can be there no problems :)
sorry again.

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

I'll be at work on Swanston St (between Melb Central and University of Melb) this Wednesday, and at the rental place (in Coburg) on Thursday. Are either of these suitable for you?
