10 Books A Day: #104


The Book Of Runes...Ralph Blum...St. Martin's Press
A Field Guide To Monsters...Dave Elliott...Hylas
Noodles, Nitwits, And Numskulls...Maria Leach...The World Publishing Company
The White Stag...Kate Seredy...Viking Press
The Pilgrim's Progress...John Bunyan...The Peter Pauper Press
Rubaiyat Of Omar Khayyam...tr. Edward FitzGerald...Random House
Celtic Mythology...Proinsias MacCana...Hamlyn
Scandinavian Mythology...H. R. Ellis Davidson...Hamlyn
The Golden Book Of The Mysterious...Jane Werner Watson and Sol Chaneles...Goldencraft
Advanced D&D Monster Manual...Gary Gygax...TSR Games
The Rubaiyat and Pilgrim's Progress are slipcased. The Monster Manual is the 1979 4th Edition--and might well still be my brother's, technically. And that is the price on the Field Guide to Monsters: one dollar. The enjoyment my nephew has already got out of it is worth more than that. I love Half Price Books.

Book Count: 1180.

I must say, I was surprised to see the Monster Manual. There was another one from ye olden times called the Fiend Folio, which was a collection of D&D monsters that originated from the U.K.

As I say, I'm only holding it in a caretaker position, actually, but any compendium of monsters interests me. I was interested to see there were monsters that I'm sure were based on plastic "little animals" that we had as kids: they probably made fine and easy models to place on the game grids.
