Several people have suggested that I put together a list of the books we’re still looking for. I’ve finally gotten around to doing so, and you can find it below. I warn you, it’s pretty long. Most of these books are also included on an Amazon wish list I’ve put together, along with some research books and a few odds and ends. If you buy anything through Amazon, it’s supposed to be taken off the list automatically. If you’re sending something you already had or something you bought elsewhere, just email me with the titles and I’ll delete them from the list myself. I’ll also post an updated version of the list here on the blog pretty often.
I was surprised to see how many of my old books Amazon still has listed. Used copies, of course, since some of the books are long out of print, but at least they’re still listed. I was also surprised to see the range of prices. Many of the books are available for a penny, plus shipping, while others are a lot more expensive than what I thought they would be. And some that I thought had probably vanished from the face of the earth except for the few copies I had evidently are still available.
I can’t tell you how much we appreciate all the books that have been sent our way so far, and how much we’ll appreciate any that show up in the future. I’ve got some money earmarked for a nice set of shelves that I hope to one day have filled with all the books Livia and I have written and all the anthologies we’ve contributed to. Maybe it’s a little vain, but it’s nice to be able to look at the concrete evidence of what we’ve accomplished over the last thirty-plus years, and I’m extremely grateful to everyone who’s contributing to that effort.

Update: I've deleted numerous items off the list. This update is current as of 11:00 pm CDT Saturday, April 5.
Hey James:
ReplyDeleteHas Kim forwarded on the books sent to her yet? I thought I had included a copy of Emerald Land in the box I'd sent there. If it wasn't there it must be around here somewhere.
best, Steve Stilwell
Steve,
ReplyDeleteThose books are on the way but haven't arrived yet. Kim sent me a list of them, however, and I don't find The Emerald Land on it. I did notice a copy of Ghost River you sent that I overlooked, though, so I'll delete that one.
If anyone else sees anything on the list that you've already sent, please let me know so I can take it off.
James, the box I'm planning to send has the three Walker novels. It should be sent early next month. There are a few I want to read first and one I'm still waiting to arrive. I had to reorder it after the book didn't arrive from the first bookseller.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Randy. I'll take the Walker novels off the list.
ReplyDeleteCan't find Emerald Land, but did find a copy of Black Moon, which I'll send along shortly, so you can cross it off.
ReplyDeleteStilwell
James,
ReplyDeleteWe were in Florida for 5 weeks when I heard about your disaster. In checking the want list I see I have three for you:
Guns of the West
Lone Star Law
Battle Lines
I guess every little bit helps.
Good luck.
Jeff Meyerson
Thanks, guys. Every bit does indeed help, very much.
ReplyDeleteCross off Lyron's Lament. I'm sending it.
ReplyDeleteWill do, Cap'n. Many thanks.
ReplyDeleteJames,
ReplyDeleteI see you need Hard Boiled. I have a copy I reviewed years back, so I'll send it to Kim today.
It gave me a chance to read your story. Still holds up. Knowing how how difficult it is to write such short-shorts, I've come to appreciate it even more.
Regards, Bill Peschel
Thanks, Bill. That's great. If you haven't mailed the book yet, you can send it directly to me if you want:
ReplyDeleteJames Reasoner
P.O. Box 931
Azle, TX 76098-0931
And for those of you who haven't read it, I highly recommend HARD-BOILED, and not just because I have a story in it. It's one of the best anthologies I've read.
I found my copy of American Pulp but see its already been crossed off. Well at least it now gives me a reason to review it along with other Short Story Collections I've got.
ReplyDeleteOh well next time I used book shopping I'l be on the lookout for your series westerns you have listed.
James,
ReplyDeleteI sent you an e-mail earlier, but maybe you didn't notice it. I have Rivers of Gold, cross it out.
Thanks, Juri. The earlier email seems to have disappeared somewhere between here and there.
ReplyDeleteBruce, AMERICAN PULP has some good stuff in it. I think you'll enjoy it.
James:
ReplyDeleteI picked up a copy of Longarm and the Yukon Queen yesterday. It's been read, but it's not too bad.
I also have some of the Justin Ladd books, but it looks like somebody beat me to them.
Warren Harris
Thanks, Warren. I'll cross that Longarm off the list.
ReplyDeleteI'm sending those books I promised out next week and adding one more: Cross Plains Universe.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Randy.
ReplyDeleteJames,
ReplyDeleteI didn't have your list with me when I went on my Spring Break road trip...but I picked up a bunch of your books at the used bookstores I visited on my way. But I don't think any of them are titles that are still on your list. Would you like me to send them anyway?
Lee,
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, I'd love to have them. You know a writer can always use extra copies of his books.
James, I've got the cassette version of How the West was Read, if you're still looking. Can't vouch for the condition of the tapes in the case though (they were in storage for about five years).
ReplyDeleteBenjie,
ReplyDeleteYes, I still need How The West Was Read, if you don't mind parting with it. I imagine the tapes are still fine. Many thanks!
