These arrived today....
Quite pleased.... I have the Green Hornet serials on VHS, which doesn't do me much good as I don't have a functional VHS player right now. Looking forward to watching these again, anyway. The liner notes that came with the DVDs are excellent.I enjoyed the Bond movie a lot in theaters and perhaps will watch it again this weekend, on a writing break.
I saw Torchwood: Children of Earth while I was in the UK last month and agreed with the general sentiment in most reviews that it started with a bang but petered out. Nonetheless, overall I think it's worth having the DVD set.

Library Journal review of THE EVIL IN PEMBERLEY HOUSE
The folks over at Subterranean Press have noted that Library Journal has reviewed The Evil in Pemberley House, saying "this dark erotic novel mixes the gothic-horror format with pieces of Sherlockian mysteries as well as homages to Tarzan of Greystoke and the Doc Savage series."
Yep!

Phantom Chronicles 2 covers - coming in December
Looks like I may have been wrong in an earlier post about the cover(s) for The Phantom Chronicles 2. Perhaps the cover on B&N.com is a dummy placeholder (I think I did see that cover on a Phantom comic book...) Anyway, these appear to be the covers (softcover and hardcover). The book is solicited for December!

London secondhand bookstore swag, part 2
I already had a copy of J.T.'s Hundredth, but it does have a Wold Newton Family tree chart in it (only the third book to do so following Phil Farmer's Tarzan Alive and Doc Savage, and done with Farmer's blessing), so it seemed worth picking up an extra copy.
The James Bond and C.S. Lewis books are, of course, duplicates, picked up for the unique covers on the British editions.

Pemberley House--full Booklist review
In the many novels of the Wold Newton series, the late Farmer proved fond of enhancing the "biographies" of famous literary characters, such as Verne's Phileas Fogg and Burroughs' Tarzan, with fanciful, "uncovered" details. Here, collaborating with sf colleague and Wold Newton enthusiast Eckert, he recounts the fate of Patricia Wildman, daughter of pulp fiction icon Doc Savage. When her parents are presumed dead in a plane crash, 22-year-old Patricia assuages her grief in a spate of short-lived, unfulfilling love affairs. Then surprising news arrives: Patricia is the sole heir to Pemberley House, the estate featured in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, and she sets off immediately for England. Eager for the change of scenery, Patricia comes well prepared to meet her bawdy cousins and 103-year-old dowager aunt, still living at Pemberley, but is less prepared for the restless ghost still haunting the estate. Part pulp romance, part erotic thriller, Farmer and Eckert's yarn is a steamy, intriguing addition to Wold Newton lore.

Cover for Moonstone's THE PHANTOM CHRONICLES, VOLUME 2...

Pretty nifty!
