Literature, Art and Artifacts That Will Forever Remain Among THE UNDEAD: The Book Sail 16th Anniversary Catalogue
Orange, California: McLaughlin Press, 1984. First Edition. Hardcover. Identical to the deluxe issue, this is one of 100 copies reserved for presentation by the publisher and signed by Elvira, Rowena, Ray Bradbury, Robert Bloch, and William F. Nolan. In addition to a particularly fine selection of science fiction, fantasy, horror, cineam, and popular culture material, this lavishly produced catalogue features a foreword by Ray Bradbury, a specially commissioned short story by Robert Bloch, and the first separate printing of William F. Nolan's The Dandelion Chronicles, which is presented as a chapbook housed in the rear pocket. The errata slip, a letter from the publisher, and an invitation to The Book Sail's anniversary celebration are laid in. Octavo: unpaginated with a color plate by Rowena, a color frontispiece by Willy Pogany, and numerous textual illustrations. Original black and red cloth binding, with a 3-D portrait of Elvira by David Goldner inset on the front panel. Some minor fading and wear; otherwise very good.
