Oct. 6th, 2006 10:28 amI just spent an hour plundering the Children's tables at a second hand book fair. (Unless they have an SF&F section, I tend to avoid the adult literature sections of book fairs like the Steele-infested plagues they are.) My haul:
New Zealand!
- Tessa Duder, Mercury Beach
- Margaret Mahy, Memory
- Ruth Park, My Sister Sif (technically Australian, actually)
-Paula Boock, Dare Truth or Promise
- Fleur Beale, I Am Not Esther
- Maurice Gee, The Halfmen of O
SF&F!
- Megan Whalen Turner, The Thief and Queen of Attolia (which I adore)
- Philip Pullman, Northern Lights
- Donna Jo Napoli: Spinners and Zel
- Catherine Webb Mirror Wakes
- Kate Thompson Switchers and Midnight Choice
- Jon Sciezka Tut tut and Your Mother Was A Neanderthal
-Tamora Pierce First Test, Trickster's Choice, Realms of the Gods, Sandry's Book
- Margaret Petersen Haddix Running Out of Time
- Neil Gaiman Coraline
- Diane Duane The Book of Night with Moon (I do in fact already own this, but it was a nice paperback copy)
- Sandman: Book of Dreams (No idea what this is like)
- KA Applegate Animorphs #2 and #34 and Remnants #3,4,5,6,7,9,13
Other Stuff!
- Cynthia Voigt, Come a Stranger
- Gillian Cross, The Great Elephant Chase
- Jaclyn Moriarty, Finding Cassie Crazy
- Eric Carle, Papa, Please Get the Moon for Me (I normally avoid picture books because a) they cause me heartache and b) it's going to be a long time before they'll be useful for me again. But asdfhghjk I couldn't just leave it there.
- CS Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (Do you know how hard it is to get a cheap second hand copy of this? HARD. VERY HARD. *pleased*)
All that for $26, I am happy to say.
So! I have a spare copy of The Book of Night with Moon. It's ex-lib but apart from the barcode on the back is in great condition, looks like it was borrowed maybe three times (which is a tragedy all of its own, but still.) Looks like a 1999 print run. Anybody want it? I don't want money for it or anything, it was only 50c and unless you live in the wilds of Siberia and it's going to cost me $50 to send I'm not fussed about postage either. Leave me a comment if you want it, because otherwise I'm going to offer it at
youngwizards, but I'll let y'all get in first if you want a copy.
