Sure, I am curious to see what other Lumlianiacs's are in pursuit of. I am making a point out of getting the older hard-to-find items.

A lot of my friends think I am crazy because I look for Brian's books on Ebay and other websites... and when I look at a used bookstore and say "Hey, lets go in there!"... well they are about ready tie me up and send me to an asylum. :D

OK, I've been spending way too much time ebaying lately:)

So some of the more recent stuff I've been getting is:
Demogorgan, Pschosphere, and Psychamok - all first edtions with the Alan Hood Covers - I even have a Necroscope 1 in this edition. If anyone one has a spare Psychomech in this edition, I'd be happy to take it off your hands!!!

Brian Lumley - a New Bibliography. THis is so hard to come by that if you blink you'll miss it.

House of Cthulhu - (not quite as rare as the ganley edition, but becoming more increasingly hard to find) Headline edition. Bought this so I could read it, I have the Ganley edtion, and you can't read it - it's laid out in columns! Possibly my most extravagant buy for a while.

I would list some of the other rarer stuff, but I'll wait, but like you I do pop into second hand book stores, and spend all my money on ebay! The GF shouted at me this week as I had 3 books delivered! But I've been pretty lucky with cost so far.

Ooh, nice...

I've been working on my classics of late - I've doubled my WeirdBook collection to 4, the 10th year special (issue 13), #15, #20 & #21...

I've also acquired a couple of the classic British mag Whispers including the Brian Lumley special.

I was lucky in being able to get the Headline editions of House of cthulhu, Tarra Khash: Hrrosak and Sorcery in Shad when they were still in print.

I would have liked to have got all this stuff when it was still in print, but when I was younger reading the BL stuff, I didn;t appreciate that I would would want to read anything but the necro stuff - how damn stupid of me...

I think I have about 4 issues of wierdbook also, and I have all bar five of the ganley runs of BLs work:)

Anyway, I'm off as this is way too nice an afternoon to be spent inside, although I did just get back from a very nice walk:)

Will respond to this later when I have more time. I've made quite a few additions since the Collections thread was started ... quite a bit of reorganizing as well.

I'm delighted that I've just managed to purchase Necroscope 1,2 & 3 first editions in Hardback as well as Horror at Oakdene Arkham First edition,which arrived a couple of days ago still in the original shrinkwrap....WOW,even if my bank balance is now shot to death I'm still happy...

[The Caller of the Black]

In the last few months I've picked up an Uncorrected Proof of Lost Years Vol 2,
Pybob sent me a UK Grafton copy of Khai as a swap for a Dr Who video and finally I got the 2 Lost Years books in hardback from E-Bay.

[Exsanguinator]

I have a set of Pannini stickers from Division 1, 1978 - I have them all except for #42, #81 and #144.

If anyone wants to swap for a David Dickinson bottle of occasional tanning oil I would be grateful (the bottle's it coms in is quite small - about 4 gallons)...

Every now and then someone will post an item that they just picked up at the book store or on ebay but it seems that their all over the board.
