Talk about timing! As Ubik is selling out, I was planning on placing an order for 5 books - as it'll help me take benefit of the free shipping promo. Right now I have in my cart: Ubik Left Hand of Darkness Dispossessed I Am Legend With this video, I definitely won't be removing I Am Legend :) I still need to find a book though.

Both Ubik and I Am Legend are favorites of mine that I've purchased. Do you have no interest in Rendezvous with Rama? Or Planet of the Apes (a great novel)?

Hey man! I am just killing myself for not getting Ubik on my last order. I want to snag it but I need to save some cash. You were going to absolutely love I Am Legend! And I love the binding design of Dispossessed. I’m trying to think of recommendations for the fifth book but there are just so many good ones and I don’t know what you already have. I do know you’re going to be really happy with those four books though! I really appreciate the comment at the showcase helped you decide to keep the book in your cart. It’s honestly the best compliment I could get so I am thrilled and you made my day!

An oddly sized book, but beautifully designed by comic book superstar Dave McKean who began his career in partnership with Neil Gaiman on the graphic novel 'Violent Cases' way back in 1987. I'm sure it was McKean who set the book dimensions to suit his illustrations. I love this edition and it was my first time reading the novel which is a phenomenal read as the vampire tale is turned on its head. The last line of the novel absolutely kills. This was without a doubt the most current and relevant novel i read during the initial global lock down period in the spring of 2020. I leave it at that.

Dude you totally hit the nail on the head about the last line of the book absolutely killing it. I read this book so many years ago and I still remember that last line to this day. This is just one of those books I will always stick with me. As always, thank you for all the little tidbits you share on the history of the books that I present. Honestly, I really appreciate it more than you know. My hope is that people will read your comments I’m getting a greater understanding through them!

@@rarebookreviewer People talk about opening lines of novels being important, but a good closing line can take a book to another level. This book achieves that!
