Cargo Cult Press has just released a PDF ebook of COLLECTING DARKNESS: 10 YEARS OF DELIRIUM BOOKS by Larry L. Roberts & H Michael Casper. If you own Delirium titles, you collect or are just interested in the independent horror press, this is an extremely resourceful book featuring much more than just a bibliography and price guide. It has been thoroughly indexed by Darkside Digital prior to publication which will allow its readers to quickly find information using the standard PDF bookmarking system.
Here is the guide you’ve been waiting for. The definitive Delirium Books bibliography and price guide is complete. Yet it is more than a price guide; much more. Two longtime collector’s collaborate on this volume that all small press collectors will cherish. Their combined knowledge and experience of over 50 years collecting books is evident.
For Delirium Books fans as well as collectors, this is it. The History of Delirium Books, Shane Ryan Staley: The Man Behind Delirium, The Value of Collecting Delirium Books, a bibliography and price guide, quick lists, and a peek at the Top 7 Delirium Book Collectors in the World are some of the gems found here. Included quick lists are designed for the collector and reader. They’ll help you find specific information. For example, all the cover art by Mike Bohatch, a list of all the books in the Exclusives Series, or all books authored by Greg F. Gifune can be easily discovered.
However, more than that is found between these covers. Information for the collector is provided including purpose, collecting trends and rules, investing in books, grading books, glossary of terms, protecting your investment, and how to care for your books.
Due to the nature of this book, it has been released by Cargo Cult as only a PDF download.
