This is scandalously cheap on Amazon.com. A sizable book with 300 pages, hundreds of illustrations and photographs, very readable, for... $1.70. This planet has gone nuts :D

An interesting show when the shortest track on the album ("The Return of the Giant Hogweed") runs 8:14.  Apparently, they'd also recorded "Supper's Ready" live, and were considering it for inclusion. At the last, since they'd just released Foxtrot, of which "Supper's Ready" takes up almost all of side 2 . . . they decided against two back-to-back albums with the same number consuming all of one side.

Just arrived. I've been interested to read this for some time. Very suprised to discover it's only 100 pages long - for some reason I had thought it to be 300+ pages...

I used to hit Newbury Comics all the time back in my hometown of Portland Maine. Great deals and plenty of cool "stuff"!

I had a Horace Walpole phase some years ago and enjoyed the wit of his letters enormously. Castle of Otranto is great fun as long as it's not approached as 'great literature', but in the 'spooky entertainment' spirit in which, I suppose, Walpole expected it to be enjoyed. It's a great way of enjoying the spirit of its age. I picked up a slim eighteenth century copy in a secondhand bookshop, in its original dark, plain, time-charactered leather binding, and the impression of the letterpress tangible when you run a finger over the pages.

Yes, my approach will be what you mentioned. I'm going through a 'classic Gothic fiction' phase at the moment and this is considered the grandfather of the genre. I loved the description of the aged copy you found...  :)

In memory of Willy deVille, who died this week, I ordered several of his CDs. This is the first to arrive:

Thanks for pointing this out - there are such huge gaps in my reading that after seeing the price on Amazon, immediately pre-ordered this thing. Can't argue with a price like that 0:)
