Library Additions: Borderlands Little Books X 5 (1 of 3) (Gaiman, Blackwood, DeChancie, Gardner, Keene)

Tuesday, March 28th, 2023

Since I already had a significant number of titles in the series, I decided to build out a complete collection of Borderlands Little Books. These come from two sources: 1.) Direct dealer purchases from the publisher, and 2.) A lot of 15 titles, including the Gaiman title (the most difficult one I still lacked) for $886.

  • Blackwood, Algernon (Mark Sieber, editor). A Little Black Book of Bedevilment. Borderlands Press, 2022. First edition hardback, #462 of 500 copies signed by the editor, a Fine copy. Bought from the publisher at the usual discount. I will have copies of this available in the next Lame Excuse Books catalog.

  • DeChancie, John. A Little Gray Book of Alien Stories. Borderlands Press, 2004. First edition hardback, #168 of 500 signed, numbered copies, a Fine copy. Bought as part of the 15 book lot.

  • Gaiman, Neil. A Little Gold Book of Ghastly Stuff. Borderlands Press, 2011. First edition hardback, #168 of 500 signed, numbered copies, a Fine copy, sans dust jacket, as issued. Mixture of fiction, non-fiction, essays, speeches, poetry, etc. Cool cover illustration by Gahan Wilson. Probably the hardest of the Little Book series to find (followed by the Lansdale, Ligotti and Malerman volumes). Bought as part of the 15 book lot.

  • Gardner, Craig Shaw. A Little Purple Book of Peculiar Stories. Borderlands Press, 2004. First edition hardback, #168 of 500 signed, numbered copies, a Fine copy, sans dust jacket, as issued. Bought as part of the 15 book lot.

  • Keene, Brian. A Little Silver Book of Street Wise Stories. Borderlands Press, 2008. First edition hardback, #168 of 500 signed, numbered copies, a Fine copy, sans dust jacket, as issued. Bought as part of the 15 book lot.
