@ dreadlock smile - you know penguin have reissued 'the death of grass' back in april? i picked up a battered one last year for a tenner and if you haven't read it - GET IT NOW!! JC's 'world in winter' and 'wrinkle in the skin' are also worth grabbing. Ohhhhh...I think I may well be buying myself a copy then. Cheers for the re-release info squire. Have a karma to start your weekend off with...

30th PAN BOOK OF HORROR STORIES.
I would kill for it. Even sell kidneys or any other major organ.
I had THE GHOUL by Guy N Smith for years but one bad day when I was bad for cash and needed a windfall I sold it on ebay knowing it would make some money. I look back now and regard it as one of the biggest mistakes of my life ( as well as the ex wife )

I look back now and regard it as one of the biggest mistakes of my life ( as well as the ex wife ) I could make you really jealous now... I found a copy of The Ghoul in an Oxfam shop in Burleigh Street, Cambridge. The most over-priced charity shop in Britain, but it did have some bargains. £1.49 this cost me - and it was signed!I had the 30th PBOHS...but I let that go on eBay when I was addicted to selling. I think I got £35 for it. Just think, if I'd have held on to it I could have had an extra kidney or lung by now...God, I'm such a twat. Still have The Ghoul, though.

I'm also after...GNS's Truckers I & II as well as Resurrected. I'll keep an eye out for you, sir - but Resurrected and the Truckers books are notoriously hard to get hold of. You may have to battle David Z for them...

It was the last one and it had a small print run compared to the others.

It was the last one and it had a small print run compared to the others. 28 and 28 are pretty damn hard to get hold off as well - for the same reason, I guess... Just like the original Fighting Fantasy books. (Yep, I was hooked on them as a kid.) Curse of the Mummy was the last one (number 59 I think) and it goes for silly money on Greedbay - again, small print runs.

I hope David Zuzelo managed to get this - he's been after the Trucker books for years.
