I want that!!!

This came today. Was just under £13 on Amazon too. Had a quick flick through and looks like a great book. Gonna start on it once I finished Alan Jones' revised Argento book.

I have the first pressing of this book, its a great read. I've been thinking about getting the updated version too and I've asked my sister for the Argento book, which I'm really looking forward to browsing through on Xmas morning

Gah, just lost out on Stephen Thrower's Fulci book on eBay! Was at £18 with no bids until the last minute where it went for £34 = £4 p&p. I went up to £33 out of madness but wasn't prepared to go over that (have some money in Paypal funds due to recent sales on eBay)

It's rare they show up on ebay too these days, luckily I bought mine from Amazon about 10 years ago for just over £20*

what the unholy...? how did I miss out on that, been trawling eBay for that for years... I would've paid that as well! last copy I saw was in the region of a ton... good news for you though, I have an email from Harvey at Fab Press confirming a re-issue of Beyond Terror 'in the next year or two', can you wait that long?

I'm always on the look out for the FP Bava and original Argento books, which stupidly I held off buying years ago, not realising how expensive they'd end up

[WinterMillennium]

I seem to remember I got Art Of Darkness on eBay for about 30 quid... to be fair, unless you're a completist or have an interest in more than one point of view, I'd stick with the updated version of Profondo Argento, that is a thing of beauty

[Rik]

Just been checking out the Fab Press website and they have these items of interest for many of us, unfortunately way out of my price range

Yeah, I always regretted not picking up FAB's Ten Years of Terror and the nunsploitation book - both way too expensive nowadays even if you can find 'em, but fair dues to FAB, when they say you're buying a limited edition they usually mean it...
