Because of this website I have started reading the series in order from number one up. I only intended to read the original 33 and the ones that got decent reviews. Yesterday I was at the used book store and the owner was putting stacks of DL books in the 50 cent bin because she said she was given boxes of them for free and she'd never be able to sell them. I picked up $20 worth and am now only missing the 7 that come right before Plauge Lords. At least my book shelf has more color to it now. In my "Man Cave" I have the walls lined with bookshelves and my military awards. I mostly only keep hardcovers of really good books like Steinbeck, S King, Clancy, Twain, and the classics etcc. I have one gigantic shelf that has nothing but GE books on it. I have all the OL and 300 + Bolan books. I have been suckered by GE but it's a pretty fun guilty pleasure. It sure makes for some strange looks from people that enter my "Cave".

Chair-Master, Speaking of "striking gold," check out the price of a used copy of Dark Resurrection on Amazon.

The title sold out of print at the Harlequin warehouse by June--I know because I tried to buy some copies using my "author discount," and there weren't any more. I do have three new copies that I will sell for the bargain basement price of $800 each.

Err, make that $850 each. To cover the postage and insurance.

lol... my man cave is a small corner of our apartment that my wife no longer cleans or looks at... my bookshelves are actually just stacks on stacks of books in no particular order, seriously, it looks like Dr. Seuss cover art in that freakin corner lol... imagine the looks I get man! Back on topic though, I actually found my first couple DL books in the local thrift (I'm good friends with the owner) and now he holds all the copies he gets in reserve for me... sadly, nobody seems to be trading them as of about a year ago... muttering incoherently Sun "Better to have weapons and not need them, than to not have weapons when you do need them." -Trader

I'm getting ready to sell my entire book collection either on ebay or at a lawn sale this weekend. I got about a thousand books or so all boxed up. I am also trying to dump my GA audio books on ebay but those i wont let go for cents on the dollar...lol I used to have a man cave but the kids took it over and boxed my clubs and bones and other gnawed on collectibles. I guess its time to give the rest up...

I've only had the cave for a few months. The step daughter moved out so I got permission from the boss to use it. Her reasoning was that she could close the door and not see my mess. I even have a small reefer in there for my libations. I wish there was room for a toilet but that might be asking too much. I know I got a hell of a deal on these books. I was having a hard time finding Red Equinox for under $10. Maybe if things keep going the way they are I can sell the whole collection to send a future grandkid through college.

I dunno. I have the whole collection, and aside from sentimental value I fear that it's eventual worth will be using it for toilet paper after the alien zombie overlords take over the world.
