New Releases: Burton and Swinburne in the Strange Affair of Spring Heeled Jack by Mark Hodder (Snowbooks)
Spotlight/New Additions: McGann, Carey, Palmer, McAuley, Harris, Williams
These are the lovely books that have arrived at NextReading Rooms. Excluding Stairway to Hell, only The Wisdom of Dead Men actually arrived by post. I’m blaming the postal strikes. Really frustrating as two copies of The Naming of the Beasts are disappeared into depot pile limbo!
I was lucky to get smuggled [...]

Let’s start with the Chris Riddell illustrated version of The Graveyard Book. I was going to get the Dave McKean version but after seeing the cover on Neil’s blog I got persuaded with this edition. [...]

Book P0rn: Absolute Sandman Special (Vertigo)
Well I bit the bullet and ordered the first two volumes of Absolute Sandman by the wonderful Neil Gaiman. As the book is a class above anything that I own I thought it deserves it’s own special.
On the pic above you might notice a not inconsiderable dent, which hopefully will be sorted when a replacement [...]

Seeing as a couple of people said ‘why not’ to my recent suggestion about including some book p0rn here’s a few shots of books that have arrived over the last few weeks.
I’m going to let them speak for themselves apart from saying I hope that there are one or two that take your fancy and [...]
