 Hello again. It's time for another monthly recap the end of January 2015. There's not much in the way of new acquisitions this month compared to previous months. So I'll go through them pretty quickly. First of all, this is a DVD that I posted on the Tumblr and the Twitter. It's a sci-fi movie from the mid-80s that people have forgotten about. I rewatched it and it's good just like I remembered. I may talk about it someday. The Best of Pamela Sargent. This is one of those paperback books that was chopped up and given the hardback treatment. Looks like especially for a library. They didn't trim the pages this time like they did on that one I saw before. I read this book before. I owned a copy before. I remembered it being good. I wanted to read it again and review it for you. So here it is. All right. I've got Roadside Picnic by the Strogatsky Brothers. I discussed this book on Twitter with one of my followers told him I was going to get it and I got it. Eclipse by K.A. Bedford and Darkness in St. Louis Bearheart. Again, this is something that I discussed on Twitter. I got these three books with a special project in mind. I have a few more to get for it and I'll get to that later this year. These two are the same story. I got them with the idea in mind of doing children's science fiction at some point. I remembered this book from childhood. I didn't have it on my shelf so I looked it up and got it and while I was looking for it I spotted this. I didn't recognize it but I had a dim memory of a children's science fiction book about a little boy from the moon who took a special trip to outer space. I remember the drawings being very crude and he was basically drawn just like a little blob in a spacesuit. I saw this and thought if this isn't it then what the hell else could it be but I've read a little bit of it and I don't think this is it. I don't think this is what I remembered. There are other books in this series so maybe I read one of the others. Anyway I'll cover it someday. I found these books immediately and the same goes for these really. The only thing that took so long on getting these two was finding copies that I thought were for a good price and by good price I mean the lowest I could find but I was talking about this with someone the other day and I was saying to them that collecting these days is just a matter of keeping your eyes glued to eBay. I mean there's nothing to it. If it takes you more than a couple of weeks to find what you're looking for no matter what it is then that's considered too long. Speaking of which I picked up this almost complete set at an amazing price. The only thing that's missing is volume one from the James Blish series and while looking at these I discovered that there was a separate series called the Star Trek Logs also by James Blish which adapted the stories from the cartoon series. I didn't know that. I'll be getting those as well. I have a story to tell about this Star Trek Lives. Let's say a book about Star Trek fandom written in 1975. I have a story to tell about this and I'll get to it someday. Maybe I'll cover this series. I will say that I had all of these or almost all of them when I was a kid and the thing that I liked about them I don't recall ever reading them by the way but the thing I liked about them were these cover paintings like the the idea of the enterprise hovering just within harm's reach of the surface of a planet and close to the same thing here. I love these cover paintings. It was really strange stuff. I've got one other thing I want to discuss. Doing these videos the book reviews and the comics reviews that I'm starting to do they're taking they're taking more and more time. Of course I'm not making any money doing these. I should be spending my time doing something that pays the rent. I'm not interested in doing a Patreon or a Kickstarter. I don't think I have enough followers for that. However I am considering a PayPal subscription page where you can choose to donate something like two dollars or four dollars a month to help me do this and help me do more. In the meantime I'll sell some of these books rather than taking them to the store and trading them all in exchange for a ten dollar donation I will give any of my viewers the choice of one of these books. Some of them I've reviewed already some of them I'll review shortly and once I'm done with them you can have the one you want. Ten bucks add two dollars that's twelve dollars if you're outside the USA. Contact me if you're interested in getting one of these and I'll continue to do that in the future. When I'm done with the book I'll let it go in exchange for a donation to help me do more. Okay I think that's it for this time I'll have another review coming later this week in just over two months I'll be doing review number 100 so keep your eyes peeled and tell people about these reviews tell people to subscribe to the YouTube and to the Daily Motion and to the Twitter and look at the Tumblr if you're not looking at the Tumblr you're missing most of what I'm doing. The last few months I've been posting something new on the Tumblr every day every single day links to other stuff lists of stuff pictures of new acquisitions if you're following the Tumblr you saw all the new acquisitions already because I post them every time they come in so look at the Tumblr and watch for news about PayPal donations okay see you next time
