Here's the URL.

It's the leatherbound white Barrens (not the "Red Barrens" like I have shown you), one of 250 signed and numbered. "Buy it now" price is $55. Good luck! I'm not the seller, BTW, just passing along info to my fellow collectors.

It's not leather bound. It's not limited or signed. It's a paperback by "Mary Elizabeth Murphy", but Paul wrote it (under his wife's maiden name) and it's a great book! Buy it at Amazon.com for a song. Only 4 reviews, and none of the reviewers seem to have a clue who actually wrote it.

Paul's work has appeared in many collections. I'll post some pictures of covers from some of my copies.

Headline, from the UK, published the first edition of Legacies. Gauntlet didn't publish it (but here's hoping they might print a limited edition one of these days). This predated the Forge edition, and was published under Paul's pseudonym of Colin Andrews.

Not much of a pseudonym if it says "writing as" right on the cover...... :confused:

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

Hmmm, you've got a point there. Sort of a pseudo-pseudonym. Wink

Hi, I was actually considering purchasing a limited edition of Midnight Mass. I think it was offered through Cemetary Dance. What I am wondering is, do you actually read them??? I know I am going to want to if I buy it but I also know people who won't even touch a limited, or even just a signed copy because they don't want to ruin the value or condition- they just diplay it. Just wondering... Thanks!

I guess that depends on whether or not you're a bona fide collector. I'm a dilettante. I just dabble. I have a few signed editions, but I bought them for the fun of it and didn't pay a lot for them. I did read some of them, so I guess I've gone and blown the turnaround value. But I don't want to sell them.

Biggles will give you the skinny on the true collector's point of view.

Reading is freedom.
The mind soars, no earthly cares,
no limitations.

Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.

If I was a true collector, I would tell you to read it so the price on my book went up! But us at the Repairman Jack website forum would not send you in a wrong direction! If it's a true collecters addition, and reading it drops the value, buy the paperback! It's at your house in 3 to 10 days, and will probably only cost you 8 bucks at the most! Is it worth the bucks to defile your copy of Midnight Mass, just to know what it say's. Or would you rather have that book rise in value?


KRW-- I'm not a collecter so I would tear into this new book, but that's me
