Link for old SF & Fantasy book fans
I hope this proves as helpful to you as it already has to me:
http://www.abebooks.com
Very nice search engine, wide range of prices and conditions on the books, looks good to me.
Maybe I'll finally be able to finish my collection of the Popular Library Jules de Grandin short story collections by Seabury Quinn. They're great pulp fun, rather politically incorrect by today's standards, and done in the whole modern-day (well, the 1930's) ghostbusting style. The De Grandin stories were the most popular stories in the old Weird Tales magazine, running from 1925's "The Horror on the Links" to September 1951. I'm still surprised that they've only been republished so rarely -- maybe they were too popular to be considered good?
I'll also be hunting down the treasures of another great forgotten pulp fantasy author, Abraham Merritt. Especially his collection The Fox Woman and Others (malevolent kitsunes get even with treacherous Americans, among other stories), and his connected horror novels Burn Witch Burn and Creep Shadow Creep, which update European style witchcraft to modern NYC, and unite police, a doctor, and gangsters against a force more evil than any of them.
Enjoy the link, and happy hunting.
