Just about all of them, except for the 10 stories in The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes that are still under copyright in the U.S. (The agent never replied to my inquiry for licensing them.) Cover image is William Gillette, an actor who portrayed Holmes in early stage-plays, from a 1907 issue of Vanity Fair.

Sent to the printer... The Dwarfs of Mount Atlas: Collected Papers on the Curious Anthropology of Robert Grant Haliburton.

Haliburton proposed the existence of a small-statured tribe in the Atlas Mountain range, using legends, stories, and eyewitness sightings to support his theories. Sadly, after he died, his theories disappeared without any further proof or disproof.

The Heroic Milton

Tourmalines

Sent to the printer: The Tourmaline / The History of Mount Mica of Maine, U.S.A. Two book reprint collection (short books, comes out to about 194 pages at 5.5 x 8.5) with full color drawings of variously colored tourmalines. Color books always take a bit longer to put out, as LSI requires I get a proof copy before approving. Should be available mid-August.

On a related note, I'm trying to cut down on green cover books (as that color is supposed to be poor for sales, go figure), but I went with the mint green with pink circle, as a nod towards "watermelon" tourmaline, a very interesting mineral.

John Silence (Algernon Blackwood)

I always wished Blackwood had done more John Silence stories. In any case, this is a collection of the six (often lengthy) stories he wrote. Sent to the publisher, available soon. It is priced competitively with the old Dover edition.

Ancient and Medieval Dyes

Sent to the printer. A brief but informative and easy-to-read text on the various animal and vegetable dyes used before modern chemical synthetic dyes.

Darby O'Gill

The two-book compilation in one volume: The Adventures of Darby O'Gill ..., sent to the printer. These are great stories, though most are written in Irish tongue, so take a little getting use to.

Chesterton Vols. 4-6

Sent to printer. Same basic cover as the first three volumes. It will be interesting to see if these do as well as the mostly fiction volumes.

Volume 4: Heretics, Orthodoxy, What's Wrong with the World

Volume 5: All Things Considered, Tremendous Trifles, Alarms and Discursions

Volume 6: The Defendant, Varied Types, A Miscellany of Men, Other Stories

Foolish Questions

Sent to the printer. I wish I was able to offer this as a smaller format book, as at 7 x 10, with a single panel on each page, I wasn't able to fit two on a page, and there's a lot of white space under each one. Still, it's better than not putting it out at all -- I'm still not sure what I'm going to do with some horizontal format golf comics I scanned years ago. The back cover, btw, just has two 1913/1914 color postcards with the same theme that I added; the inside comics are all black-and-white. See book details at Foolish Questions.

William Hope Hodgson

Uploaded to the printer, a collection of Hodgson's fantasy novels: The Boats of the "Glen Carrig," The House on the Borderland, The Ghost Pirates, and The Night Land.

I've been trying to stick to a 5 books a month schedule, but ended up with 4 this month, as I merged the planned two volumes of Hodgson's fiction into one title. This one is the full maximum for POD, 828 pages.

Update: Bordercrossings, by William Hope Hodgson now available

And the second volume of Al's newspaper columns... These are 300 and 320 pages each, will run $19.95, and Al already has a ready audience, so he'll probably sell most copies direct.

Uploaded to the printer... A compilation of Al's newspaper columns covering a wide range of plant and animal subjects, with an emphasis on species here in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
