True and I used to buy them for ten cents.

You are probably right, but 36 pages for $40 seems steep. But you apparently get 2 different sized printings of the same stuff. Still I guess some carped that "The Old Man and the Sea" was short.

Some women are afflicted with the maladie or rather gifts or powers that appear to threaten the populace. Where we are going is not yet clear. We have murders, sensationalistic press, decadent and corrupt aristocracy and police, steam punk inventions, opera, lots of Victorian costumes. Juicy in its way.

At 50. R.I.P.

I like this one.
