Original painting by Ken Kelly from the cover of The Crystals of Mida (Jalav, Amazon Woman #1) by Sharon Green, 1982. I love that this cover flips the tired cliché of the woman on the ground, clinging to the hero.

HPB haul 11/20/23 and other books
I ordered books online through Amazon today (Yeah, I know. I know. Bezos sucks), but then I went to Half Price Books looking for some things I was hoping to find locally and for less $.
So... I got this stuff today at HPB.
A Flame Tree edition of Don Quixote, more Flame Tree collection books, a reproduction of the original A Christmas Carol, American Gods, and a book-theme jigsaw 🧩 puzzle 🧩 that's just as shiny as the Flame Tree books.
I noticed that the really nice edition of Don Quixote was abridged, which I find silly, but I still wanted it... so I also bought a really cheap old copy that's unabridged. Also got some journals, Bukowski's Notes of a Dirty Old Man, Jane Austen's Persuasion, Sword Catcher, The Frugal Wizard's Handbook for Surviving Medieval England, and Curious Tides. I'm not familiar with those last three new works, but they look fun, and the wizard one was apparently a very well-funded kickstarter project.
Then I went to the back of the store to look at the old, fine binding books and had to slap myself to put some of them back on the shelf. But I allowed myself one title, for now: Gargantua and Pantagruel, by Rabelais.... Yes, the likely origin of "Do what thou wilt".
Lots of books to post later, when they arrive.
Oh, and I recently bought a cute little TST book from their own website: Goodnight Baphomet and it's freaking precious. It just teaches the 7 tenets of TST in a simple way, through rhyme and cute illustrations.
FYI, a guy at HPB told me about an app that lets you keep track of books (really any collection item that has an isbn#). Because I told him I ended up with two copies of the same edition of The Tenant of Wildfell Hall...
...and I'd started using pics of book purchases to help me avoid extra copies. It'll let you create collection titles then let you add items within each collection. It has categories for books, video games, music, and movies, but I made a collection called "Jigsaw puzzles" and just scanned them in as if they were books. The app can be found in the App Store as "libib".
Collections I've created, so far. I've barely started scanning things in. I'm not sure what to do about the occasional book so old it lacks an isbn.... 🤔
Edit: the manual entry option lets you enter title, author, description, etc., even if you don't have an isbn or upc.
