  1. Over the past month or so I've repurchased four books from my (let's call it...) youth. I have lost a lot of stuff from my childhood home and while I can't replace everything, I do like that I can some things.

    In this case, the items are actually upgrades.

    Picked up hardback copies of #StephenKing ,errr #PeterStraub (ha) #TheTalisman and #TheBlackHouse. Also grabbed hardbacks of #CliveBarker #WeaveWorld and #Imajica. (I've also got autographed copies of #Everville and #TheGreatAndSecretShow, but those were picked up years ago)

    I've read them all in paperback way, way back in the day, but I like the security of hardback.

    All I know is, I'm gonna be pissed if Amazon ever buys #ThriftBooks.

  2. Just discovered what I hope is going to be a treat for Husband's birthday in a couple weeks: all four #DrPhibes books by #WilliamGoldstein, the fellow who co-wrote the first movie, #TheAbominableDrPhibes, one of his favorites. Found them at a good price on #ThriftBooks.
