Pollock, W. H. |
Art of the Honourable John Collier, The |
Hardcover |
This book is from 1914 (and perhaps from England, given the spelling of
Honourable) so the chances of finding a copy are tiny and the chances of a
copy in good condition being affordable almost nonexistant. Plus I have to
wonder how good color reproductions could be in a book from 1914. I don't
actually need to have this book specifically, but it's the only collection
of Collier's work I've been able to find evidence of. What I want is a
book that includes good color reproductions of his "Lady Godiva" and "Lilith". Perhaps there's a good general book on the Pre-Raphaelites
that includes these (and hopefully Waterhouse's "Hylas
and the Nymphs" too), but I wasn't able to find one in some
(non-exhaustive) searching on Amazon. |

Roger Zelazny Master of Amber: A Working Bibliography |
Hardcover ("Library Binding")? |
Tried to special-order this from bn.com but they were unable to fulfill
it. In 1999 borders.com also listed it as special-order, but as of
2000-01-18, they list it as OOP. Oops. The link to the left is to the
Borgo Press edition from 1993. There was apparently also a 1991 paperback
from Galactic Central -- not sure if it has less up-to-date content
than the 1993 version. |

Uncle Wiggily's Library |
Box set of softbound books (or...?) |
Originally released by Platt & Munk in 1939. I can't seem to find
any evidence that the set (consisting of "Uncle Wiggily and the Apple
Dumpling", "Uncle Wiggily and the Canoe", "Uncle Wiggily and the
Peppermint", "Uncle Wiggily Learns to Dance", "Uncle Wiggily and the
Barber", "Uncle Wiggily and the Red Spots", "Uncle Wiggily and the Sleds",
and "Uncle Wiggily and the Snow Plow") was ever reprinted (in multiple
volumes or just one), but I read these in the '70s, and I'm somewhat
skeptical we had the original 1939 printing. |

When I put this on my want-list it was only available direct from the

2009, that site is gone, and the book is apparently only available used,
at quite exorbitant prices. |

This is a compilation of comic books, and is not to be confused with one of

"there is no firm timeable yet". |
