Seven days of books

[evil_little_dog]

cornerofmadness challenged me to post the covers of seven books I love with no explanation. I'm supposed to tag people to play along but...if you want to play, please do.

Day two:

[perpetual]

That's the same edition I used to have!

[evil_little_dog]

My first copy of The Novel; I gave it to someone else when I received a hard copy.

[perpetual]

Mine too, but a former roommate's dog destroyed it. Eventually I replaced it with a paperback signed by Beagle, so I'm no longer bitter. :)

[evil_little_dog]

My Last Unicorn Tarot deck will come with Beagle's signature, so I am very very excited about that!

[badly_knitted]

Are you plucking these from my brain? That's another book I love! Have you read The Unicorn Sonata, also by Beagle?

[evil_little_dog]

I have not read that one but I've read In Calabria (another Unicorn book), Summerlong, A Fine and Private Place, The Folk of the Air, Lila the Werewolf...and some others? :D

Beagle and Lee remain my two favorite authors.

[badly_knitted]

The Folk of the Air is one of my favourites, and I really enjoyed A Fine and Private Place.

My copy of the Unicorn Sonata is beautifully illustrated. Haven't got the others you mention but I'll look out for them.

[evil_little_dog]

I will have to see if the library has it!

[vantiri]

Pretty darn good quality coverart picture for this book!

[evil_little_dog]

There are a lot of different covers for this book. This is one of the copies I owned over the years.

[spikesgirl58]

Oh, one of my favorites!

[evil_little_dog]

Mine too! This was my first copy even (I gave it to a friend when I acquired a second copy in hardcover).

Did you see The Last Unicorn tarot deck? A friend bought it for me for my bday. I can't wait to get those cards!

[spikesgirl58]

I have not. I will have to go check it out! :D

They are very very pretty. And somewhat expensive, though not as much as the Salvador Dali deck I purchased for myself.
