CALLUM JAMES BOOKS
July 2014
It’s a genuine pleasure...
...to offer a small catalogue of books that isn’t just about the
ultra-rare and expensive. Last year, I put together a catalogue
of paperbacks largely of gay interest: this catalogue is
largely paperbacks from the genres of Science Fiction and
Supernatural Fiction. The collection includes good coverage
of August Derleth as an anthologist as well as a number of
issues from the famous Pan Book of Horror series. There
is also a fair representation of the off-beat science fiction
author Philip K Dick and some really brilliant cover art
throughout. At the rear of the catalogue is a small selection
of hardcover books.
A quick word about the grading of paperbacks, which is
always tricky. I assume that if you want to spend two or
three pounds on a paperback it is because you want to read
the contents, so I have adopted a pragmatic approach. Most
of the paperbacks you will see are marked as “Good” and
this should be taken to cover a large range of conditions
but all are perfectly reasonable copies. A few are marked
“very good”, but these are the ones that stand out as being
in particularly good condition. There are also a few marked
“fair” that should be considered to be in not very good
condition but would still be readable. The hardbacks are
described to my usual standards.
Many of these books are anthologies, if you would like a
photo of the contents page please just ask.
If you are a blogger or tweeter and would like to post
pictures from this catalogue, I’m happy to exchange larger
versions of the images for a mention on your media.
I hope you’ll find some books of interest here. More
catalogues and short lists are due very soon on a number
of different subjects so please ‘stay tuned’ to Callum James
Books.
Thank you again for all your continued support.
Best wishes,
Callum
