318 page Advance Reader's Copy, Trade Paperback Format. "Indigo Springs is a sleepy town where things seem pretty normal . . . until Astrid's father dies and she moves into his house. She discovers that for many years her father had been accessing the magic that flowed, literally, in a blue stream beneath the earth, leaking into his house. When she starts to use the liquid "vitagua" to enchant everyday items, the results seem innocent enough: a "'chanted" watch becomes a charm that means you're always in the right place at the right time; a "'chanted" pendant enables the wearer to convince anyone of anything . . .But as events in Indigo Springs unfold and the true potential of vitagua is revealed, Astrid and her friends unwittingly embark on a journey fraught with power, change, and a future too devastating to contemplate. Friends become enemies and enemies become friends as Astrid discovers secrets from her shrouded childhood that will lead her to a destiny stranger than she could have… Read More

Book One of The Somnambulist Saga; 564 trade paperback novel, marked as a review copy (jc11212)

First published in 2016, a revised edition was published in 2017 -- those were trade paperbacks I think. This hardcover was published in 2023, presumably with the revised text. This copy has black & white illustrations, and (obviously) a full color dust jacket. Allow me to note that I'm listing this in three of my Biblio catalogs: Science Fiction (where Lupoff was most prolific), Mystery (where he was also successful) and, of course, Memoir.

In the early 1950s, television was in its infancy. In the U.S., outer space adventure series such as Captain Video and His Video Rangers, Space Patrol, and Tom Corbett Space Cadet entertained young baby boomers, while adults enjoyed series such as Tales of Tomorrow and Lights Out. Here, in one volume, are all the available details on these and other science fiction, fantasy and horror series and serials from the United States, United Kingdom and Canada. A total of 48 programs are covered with a series overview, cast, and episode details with a synopsis, guest cast, date of broadcast, and writer and director credits.

Marked as a review copy. (248 pages) This collection of twenty-three essays, each accompanied by a sketch by the popular French artist Paul Gavarni, was originally published in 1849 and provides a unique perspective on public life in London in the 1840s. This period reflects an early Victorian society which had not yet fully abandoned Georgian excesses for the sensibilities of a rather later age. The essays therefore document contemporary perceptions of an urban society at one point in its transition to a modern form. (JC33020)
