I've been doing some more collections management lately, and posted some pics to Facebook.  From a collector POV, this is really the only one worth crowing about a bit  



Rarities from my Pagan Publishing collection. I happened to meet the Pagan crew at KULCon II in Lawrence, Kansas, c. 1993, so I was able to pick up many of their early (and now quite rate) products as they were released. So I've had about 2/3 of these since they were published.

Top row: Delta Green fiction anthologies. Alien Intelligence (limited and trade editions), Rules of Engagement (limited hardcover and trade pb), Delta Green Eyes Only limited chapbooks (Machinations of the Mi-Go, The Fate, Project Rainbow), Dark Theatres trade pb (I don't own the limited one), recent Through a Glass Darkly Kickstarter-funded novel, and Thom Ring's King in Yellow.

Middle Rows: Weapons Compendium, Ambrose chapbook stories (not pictured: Broadalbin, as I was reading it a little bit ago and apparently didn't put it back on the shelf; neither Sosostris nor The King in Yellow as I don't own them), Black Sands (Blair Reynolds' horror comic; directly below and to the right are two unpublished comics that may have eventually been part of Black Sands #2, perhaps). Killer Crosshairs is the yellow covered title (and it was later reissued by Biohazard Games too), followed by Alone On Halloween, Guide to the Cthulhu Cult, and Tales of Terror (ToT2 isn't picture, still seeking that one).

Lower rows: Stark Raving Mad (a collection of essays celebrating the 10th anniversary of CoC), The Unspeakable Oaths #1-4, including the pre-press grey-cover #1s, Creatures and Cultists card game, Walker in the Wastes (with players aid pack/kit; my favorite campaign published by Pagan). Then two Outsider catalogs, and a copy of Ken Hite's Dubious Shards, which was printed by Phil Reed exclusively for sale at the Origins convention in 2007 or 2008.

I didn't picture other Delta Green titles, later issues of TUO, etc., since they're more generally available.

Great collection Allan !

My Pagan collection is very close to yours it seems. I do have a tales of terror 2 but no killer crosshairs  

And should you ever wish to part with that extra copy of Ambrose, I'd be interested  

Great to see all that stuff in one picture.

Great picture! What a wonderful collection. Pagan Pub items are real gems. Thanks for sharing!

(2 copies of TUO greyish cover? Don't you sell one? )

I had never seen the print version of Dubious Shards before.  Not technically Pagan, but still cool!

Thanks for the kudos, guys

I like the short stories better than the novels, in general, Jason.  I think that they're generally tighter written than the DG novels, and that they're more suspenseful in the shorter format.  Alien Intelligence probably still contains my favorite DG stories.

Go figure

Extras are there to act as trade bait, of course

Good point, Steve.  It just sidled in, non-Euclidean-like, and I hadn't even noticed

red_bus wrote:Lovely collection Allan!  Don't you also have the Pagan Pub. art portfolio too?  I thought you did. Regardless, great to see it all together  :D

True, Steven:  that's still upstairs in my our turret room closet, and needs to be brought down to join the flock!  I'll do that tonight, although it's sufficiently large that it would also have to be buried in order to show the rest of the books, too....

You're welcome.

Indeed, and thank you all for letting me fill this little hole so cheaply

Hey grodog,

I tried not to push the auction up that hard either.

Best regards,
Ronald

You're lucky I was on holiday  

Nice catch Allan !!

I count my collector blessings whenever they come through =)

Thanks, Ralph, but Steve graciously pointed it out to me.
