What? How? Where? When? I've never even heard of these beauties. They're chapbooks, aren't they? Oh, how I love chapbooks... | ||

"What? How? Where? When?" Good questions, and ones I would echo. | ||

Point of View was the Sidecar publication, wasn't it, Mick? Came out about ten years ago? I have a copy somewhere. Hain's Island looks as though it might be a fantasy work, perhaps related to the Ryre stories... | ||

Huw - they're both Sidecar publications - Hain's Island from 2002, Point of View from 2000. I've been on the lookout for these for a bit; these ones appeared on Andy Richards' most recent update. To the best of my knowledge they've not been published elsewhere yet. Zed - they are indeed chapbooks; around fifteen pages each. | ||

...100 copies of Point of View, and 200 of Hain's Island... | ||

Both were reprinted in last year's Inconsequential Tales. | ||

Very nice acquisitions, Mick. The cover illustrations look like Allen K.'s work, are they? Gorgeous, regardless. I'm with you and Zed: I love chapbooks. | ||

How much did you spend Mick...?  gcw | ||
| Mick Curtis (Mick) Username: Mick Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 86.157.91.133 |
£5 each, gcw - not quite bank-breaking; in fact pretty more or less the original published price! Alan, you're right of course; they're in INCONSEQUENTIAL TALES. I should have said they hadn't been published before the Sidecar Preservation Society edition. Coincidentally they're sitting next to INCONSEQUENTIAL TALES on my bookshelf. Richard - Allen K. did the artwork for Point of View; chap I've not heard of called Rodger Gerberding the artwork for Hain's Island. | ||

Thanks, Mick. (After a closer scrutiny I spotted Allen's signature at the bottom of the "Point of View" illustration.) I've not heard of Rodger Gerberding either. Quite a nice illustration. I hope someone eventually puts together a book of the best black-ink horror illustrations from the '70s to the present. There have been a lot of really great pieces that are now lying all but forgotten in old magazines and the like. | ||
