More covers!

I decided I needed to own every Mary Stewart book in hardcover. So I did some shopping on Alibris. :)

William Morrow, 1956 edition

William Morrow, 1963 edition

William Morrow, 1965 edition

The only one I'm missing in hardcover is Thunder on the Right, which seems to go for over $75 for the old William Morrow edition. Anyone know why it's so much more expensive? It's my least favorite book, so I won't be spending that much money on one.

I also had to buy this old mass market copy of This Rough Magic. Because you can never have too many copies of This Rough Magic. :)

Slightly appalling, but mostly impressive

I got a laugh out of this: a craft blogger, LazyTcrochet, has taken an old copy of The Moon-Spinners, torn out the pages (gasp!), and made it into a purse. She asks book-lovers not to be offended, saying that the pages were torn. I told her in the comments that I think it's a sort of tribute to Mary Stewart. It is a very pretty object she's made, though I don't think I'll be giving any of my copies similar treatment. :)
