Rare Lumley

[sdkdmd]

I've been trying to catalogue my books at Library Thing and thought while I was at it I post some pics of some hard to find books and magazine.

This one I'm sure a lot of you have seen already. A collection of poetry. Ghoul Warning & Other Omens from Spectre Press 1983 only 80 signed hard covers.


http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t302/sdkdmd/Lumley/fffffff028.jpg

Then Ganley and Necronomicon Press released Ghoul Warning & Other Omens…& Other… in 1999. Ganley edition reprints all Spectre edition poetry plus several other poems, new intro, 11 illustrations and 3 stories, 50 words each, which can be found in the Companion

[sdkdmd]

Primal Land series.

Not the rarest find if you keep your eyes opened.
From Headline Book (1991)

Very nice. It's always good when you see rare, go in the thread and then see books that you also have!

The map is nice though, where did you get it from?

[sdkdmd]

The map is from 'House of Cthulhu'

[topol_sheap]

I could have answered that!... :)

[Silver]

I have that! I didn't know it had the map though, I can't seriously have forgotten?! I guess maybe when I got it and started looking through perhaps I turned 2 pages at once and missed it??

I can't explain, I feel foolish!

[topol_sheap]

you have the ganley edition of house of cthulhu Silver? I didn't know!

[Silver]

I do, I have all the above mentioned lovely rareties!

Sounds like you got bit of a bargain.

[Silver]

Well done. I can't remember how much I paid for mine or where I got it from to be honest - that's quite worrying!

[topol_sheap]

I know! It was one of he many I had and gave away at kc2!

[sdkdmd]

I know! It was one of he many I had and gave away at kc2!

Well, you're just one crazy guy.

[Silver]

No it wasn't, I definitely didn't get it from a con - I remember it coming in the post and I'm sure I haven't had it as long as KC2. I think it might have been an ebay purchase at one of those rare times when I had a little bit of cash!

[DC 1]

You should never give away rare books....unless you give them to me of course :)

[topol_sheap]

You should never give away rare books....unless you give them to me of course :)

Yeah, that's true... that bibliography was nice ;)

[Numasthrall]

Nice looking item...

any info,I like this:)

[DC 1]

Got one of these. Its a great buy and has the added bonus of an original Allen K drawing inside the front cover. If you like it buy it otherwise someone else just might :)

[sdkdmd]

Been looking at this myself...

[Numasthrall]

its a beauty,probably go for a fortune:(on the upside though the postage to Ireland isnt too prohibitive:)

[kenny]

It would certainly make a nice addition to my growing collection of all things Lumley.

[Silver]

Agreed, it is a lovely looking book

[Numasthrall]

and now this:(
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390185184373&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
oh dear,its time to get a mortgage again.
Im loving this one,Dreamland series...yummy:D

[kenny]

I'll be keeping an eye those.;)

[sdkdmd]

Here's is some of the art for this series by Dave Kendall

Hero of Dreamshttp://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t302/sdkdmd/Lumley/HeroofDreams.jpg

Ship of Dreams

http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t302/sdkdmd/Lumley/ShipofDreams.jpg

Mad Moon of Dreams

http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t302/sdkdmd/Lumley/MadMoonofDreams.jpg

I pulled these from Dave's site but to see these up close...they are amazing. Some of the most vivid art work I've seen.

[sdkdmd]

Where it all started.

http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t302/sdkdmd/Lumley/NecroscopeOriginal.jpg

[Numasthrall]

those images from Dave Kendall are class,swung by his site....amazing stuff.
Hes got an image of Cu Chullain,a character from Irish mythology,beautiful piece:D
http://www.rustybaby.com/uploads/cuchulainn.jpg
(dont know how to show image:confused:)

the dreamland ones are pure class though

[Silver]

I love Dave's work - somehow he makes horror and gore beautiful. The current price for those is very good at the moment - especially for them all! if you can afford it I suggest you go for it - I wish I could afford it!

Though I do have those prints so for me it's not a total loss!

[Numasthrall]

Nice looking item...

Ah well got some persuading to do:(.

[gresb]

ill try to upload them on this site for everyone to see.

[sdkdmd]

Would very much like to see them

[gresb]

Of course we do, anything Lumley is a privilage especially if it's not been seen before.

[gresb]

heres the rest of the artwork , these drawings are also mentioned on page 23 of THE BRIAN LUMLEY COMPANION.
cheers graham

[gresb]

the very last one
cheers graham

[sdkdmd]

Thanks for sharing. Could you tell us how you happened to come by these?

[gresb]

came across them a few years ago on ebay. i enquired about their authenticity from the seller and was told about the leigh blackmore bibliography and how leigh had borrowed these from brian for the book. bidding was low it was an australian item as was the book and leigh also i believe. in fact postage cost me more than the item. i recieved them and asked silky if they were the real thing which she verified. i sent her scans of the artwork and also sent her one of the pictures to keep. i know the bibliography is rare so a lot of you might not have seen this early artwork before so i uploaded them on here for you all to enjoy.
cheers
graham

[gresb]

i have a paper bound copy of leigh blacmores 'brian lumley a new bibliography' thers also a hardback version both rare

[sdkdmd]

Real nice, gresb. I like to think I have a decent Lumley collection. But I hate to say I don't have anything like these drawing and never could find the Blackmore book.

[sdkdmd]

[ShadoeWolfe]

Yikes! Good luck... I think? :) For the record, I don't have the Delirium Dreamlands or Sixteen Sucking Stories either. I am more than happy to accept any of these as gifts is anyone really badly wants to get rid of them. :D

[kenny]

I have just won this bid for the Delirium Dreamlands and i'm rather excited about it, BUT(and it's a big BUT) how the hell do i get them into the house and onto the bookshelf without my wife finding out?:o:eek:

[sdkdmd]

Congratulations, Kenny. I'm sure you'll be pleased.

There was no slipcase with that???

[kenny]

Congratulations, Kenny. I'm sure you'll be pleased.

There was no slipcase with that???

Thanks sd, yes over the moon with it.:grin:

I'm sure i can live without it unless.... someone knows where i could get one because i don't see them selling it originally without it, so there must be a slipcase somewhere:confused:

[Numasthrall]

well done kenny,great buy:)serious bit of merchandise.
actually,without the slipcase its not the same,send it over here and I'll take it off your hands....no point having it lying around unless its complete;)

IF i don't like it i'm sure i could sell it for a small profit.

Oh by the way, if it hadn't been for you putting that link on then i wouldn't have bought it so i'm blaming you for being out of pocket;)

[Numasthrall]

:grin:
you would make a profit on it if it went again,no doubt...just became too rich for me,I knew twas gonna be a big price but when you convert to Euro and the postage it just doesnt bear thinking about.:(
enjoy....if your left by the missus,just do the housework for the next two years,she might let you near ebay again then:grin:

[gresb]

well done kenny totally envious:mad: i wnot one i want one i want one

no if i bid for 16 sucking stories then the other half will definatly file for divorce. and we aint even married!!!!!!

[DC 1]

I have one of these as Sarah bought it for my Birthday when it was first released. If you can afford this it is well worth the asking price. I'm off on holiday soon so no way will she let me buy this one as well. plus, having two would be greedy......:)

[kenny]

Just took delivery of these wonderful books of the Delirium Dreamlands, what a privilage it is for me to have them as pride of place on my bookshelf. The artwork in each book is truly wonderful and horrific at the same time, a pure joy to ponder over in the evenings to come. Well worth every penny spent on them.

[ShadoeWolfe]

Congrats Kenny, I hope to have that collection on my shelf someday as well. Enjoy! Although, if you're like me, once they go on the shelf, they won't come off too often. ;)

[sdkdmd]

Nice going, kenny. Enjoy

[Numasthrall]

Ive wanted that Fedogan edition for a while now...it would be when my card is maxed:(

[sdkdmd]

Not a bad price. I've seen them in the hundreds, but guessing the value has gone down since the Sub Press edition was release.

[kenny]

Tried to make the link but failed miserably, but what it was, some one was selling the mass paperback of the newly released Necroscope II Vamphyri for a buy it now price of $99.99. The one that says Special Edition $4.99.

A word of caution to fellow Lumlians old and new, beware of the rip-off's.

But it now at Amazon for £3.25 which is $5-6.
