Things I Want Less Than I Want to Go to Scotland

[Garnet Rose]

I need to finance my Scotland trip this summer, so I'm putting up some items for sale. I can accept payment via PayPal, personal check, or money order and preferred shipping is via USPS Priority Mail since they provide the packing materials and they'll even come to my house to pick up outgoing packages.

The first offerings are Dr. Seuss items. If you home school, you may have a Seuss unit in your reading curriculum. These toys / puppets are great for parents and grandparents to use when reading to the kids / grandkids.

Two sets of puppets will fit in one flat rate box. If you're not buying them as collectibles, their outer boxes can be removed and more will fit for a lowered shipping cost.

:ty

All of the Seuss items are new / unused from a smoke free / pet free environment.

Synopsis: On 28th-century Earth, the rulers have decreed that while all humans have the right to live there, there is no longer any room for animals on the planet. Jewel, a secret "arkist"--someone who works to save animals--travels to the mysterious planet Moss, where she will encounter seemingly inscrutable aliens, a lost human colony, and a portal to another dimension.
Publisher's Note: Three planets have been recently discovered in deep space, and prosaically named to reflect their respective environments. Jungle, lush and foreboding, swallowed up an eleven-member exploratory team more than a decade earlier, while hot, harsh, and dusty Stone turned out to be phenomenally rich in rare ore, the most profitable new world to be found in a century. But it is the third, Moss, that could well prove to be the most enigmatic . . . and dangerous.
Enlisted by the Planetary Protection Institute -- an organization founded to assess new worlds for potential development and profit -- famed linguist Paul Delis has come to Moss to determine whether the strange multicolored shapes of dancing light observed on the planet's surface are evidence of intelligent life. With Delis is his half sister, Jewel, the wife of one of the explorers lost on Jungle. Working together, they are to determine the true nature of the “Mossen” and decipher the strange "language" that accompanies the phenomenon.
Yet the great mysteries of this bucolic world -- three-quarters covered in wind-sculpted, ever-shifting moss -- don't end with the inexplicable illuminations; there is the puzzle of the rusting remains of a lost fleet of Earth ships, moldering on a distant plateau. Perhaps the biggest question mark is Jewel Delis herself and her mission here at the far reaches of the galaxy. Leaving an overpopulated homeworld that is rapidly becoming depleted of the raw materials needed for human survival, Jewel is a member of a radical underground group opposing a recent government edict that will eliminate all of the planet's “nonessential” living inhabitants. And it is here, at the universe's unexplored edge, where the fate of endangered creatures may ultimately be decided -- though it will mean defying ruthless and unforgiving ruling powers to repair humankind's disintegrating relationship with the beasts of the Earth.

Synopsis: Thumbprints (2004)

A collection of stories by Pamela Sargent
(http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/s/pamela-sargent/)


This eclectic group of short stories traverses time, place, and genre to deliver vivid accounts of captivating worlds, both real and imagined. By weaving together the historical and the fantastic, the stories in this collection produce fascinating narratives that remain deeply human. The startling title story, "Thumbprints," explores the darker side of the book business when a literary agent goes too far to ensure that his author's fees are paid in full. "Erdeni's Tiger," a historical drama, features a young wife in twelfth-century Mongolia who must master the spirit world to save her tribe. "Climb the Wind" revisits Mongolia in a modern-day setting as the country's military past haunts its current inhabitants.

Black Pockets: And Other Dark Thoughts (2006)

A collection of stories by
George Zebrowski (http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/z/george-zebrowski/)


Black Pockets and Other Dark Thoughts is Zebrowski's first collection of horror stories, culled from throughout his career, with an emphasis on the more recent, and one original novella, the titular "Black Pockets." The 19 stories are divided into Personal, Political, and Metaphysical horrors, i.e. stories that should scare you individually, stories that should terrify you as a social animal, and stories that should scare the whole human race, in the collective.

Part of the beauty of this book is that Zebrowski can write about people who are not like him (or you, or me). Many are not as intelligent, nice, thoughtful, or as sensitive as their author. What is really hard is writing about someone just a little less, or a little more intelligent, sensitive, caring, etc. than you. One of the most chilling, "The Wish in the Fear," is so good at what it does that you forget what the story is about until the next-to-last line, and then you remember, with a vengeance. (This is also one of those stories that is going to finish after you've read the last line — he's made it so you finish the story after he's through.)

His deft use of character is such that you forget that most horror stories just fill time before the protagonist is eaten or impaled or gets their comeuppance somehow. Zebrowski has set himself the writerly goal of having the horror come out of the situations and character flaws of his people, not from some ancient evil trespassed, or Cthuluvian terror, or now what has become that cliché — the serial killer.

There has never been a zombie story like "I Walked with Fidel" — true not only to a dead Cold War world that has passed with its polarized ideologies: the story manages to be true to both post-Superpowers times and to Castro, whose ideals were as betrayed by the nature of revolutions and the Soviet Union as by the antagonism of the United States. Zebrowski is not afraid of the Big Frightening Ideas either. The two newer centerpieces of the collection, "Black Pockets" and "A Piano Full of Dead Spiders" deal with truly existential problems, like in the latter — if you're a composer, and your tunes come from spiders playing them in your piano, what happens when they die? Are there spiders in your piano in the first place? Which died first, the spiders or your talent?

In "Black Pockets," the questions keep coming: you're given a great, heretofore unknown power by the nemesis of your existence as he is dying; for he has some unfinished business he needs done before you can use the power for revenge yourself. The protagonist finds that power, in and of itself, instead of avenging the Great Wrongs of Your Life, becomes a convenience, and otherwise innocent bystanders (wrong time, wrong place) get it used on them. At the core of the story is the frightening question: At what point does revenge become so all-consuming it clouds your judgment?

These nineteen tales of horror are from the author of Macrolife, about which Arthur C Clarke wrote: "It's been years since I was so impressed." With an insightful afterword by the author, and an introduction by Nebula Award-winning author Howard Waldrop.


From Cosmos magazine: Pamela Sargent is a Nebula-winning writer and editor whose anthologies (notably, Women of Wonder and its sequels) celebrate the contributions of women in the history of science fiction. She lives in upstate New York with her husband, writer George Zebrowski.

It is very difficult to capture the beauty of these books in photographs. The color of the Thumbprints leather is a lovely dark brown. The color of the Black Pockets leather is black.

Similar copies of Zebrowski’s book are currently being offered on eBay from $120 to $150 plus shipping. Similar copies of Sargent’s book are currently being offered on eBay from $100 to $140 plus shipping. No one is currently offering the set of two on eBay.

These books are in new - unread - mint condition. I'm asking $200 for the set of two with shipping included to 48 contiguous states.
