I had dustjacket envy yesterday. I went to the Oregon Antiquarian Book sale and saw my 2nd ever hardcover copy of Snowcrash. It was in very nice condition and actually had a dustjacket (unlike the one I have) but I wasn't about to spend $350 on it.

I had several nice conversations there with random booksellers, including one who was at the same Jonathan Carroll reading I was at the other week, and one who went to UIUC in 1950.

I picked up only three books while I was there. And only one was an upgrade.
The Night Mayor by Kim Newman
A Mask for the General by Lisa Goldstein
Oscar & Lucinda by Peter Carey (the upgrade)

Last night I finished The Panic Hand by Jonathan Carroll, so I've now caught up on all of the Carroll books I own. Great stuff. [quotes]

I started Pratchett's Witches Abroad.
