Some #recentacquisitions for my #horror library...
I met author/storyteller @claymcleod.bsky.social at @chattfilmfest.org in June and picked up the forthcoming ACQUIRED TASTE (drops 9/9/25), the SEANCE IN THE ASYLUM graphic novel, and WHAT KIND OF MOTHER to add to my growing CMC collection!
Two tiles. WINTER: THE SNOW STORM and WINTER: SULLEN AND SAD from Minton Tile Works, circa 1880, "Thomson's Seasons" line, designed by John Moyr Smith
GARETH from Minton Tile Works "Tennyson's Idylls of the King" line, c.1876, uncolored variant, designed by John Moyr Smith.
FAIR MAID OF PERTH from Minton Tile Works, "Waverley" line, c.1877, framed tile, designed by John Moyr Smith.
#recentacquisitions I'd been internet-hunting these two Aesthetic Movement WINTER tiles for years and finally they popped up at the same time recently! Designed by John Moyr Smith for Minton Tile Works, 1870s. Also snagged a cpl others recently. Someday I'll do a blog post on how gay-coded they are.
#recentacquisitions #swatchwatch #swatch #myswatch . . . COLOURED LOVE Swatch from 1988 has grown on me over the decades, to the point when I would see it would garner an "Oh -🤔". Finally found a scratched up one for the right price that I was able to polish up.
Rarissimum. #RecentAcquisitions
Nahezu unbekanntes Alterswerk eines der berühmtesten Ärzte der Zeit, Friedrich Hoffmann, zum Beweis Gottes aus der Natur. Ätzmarmorierter Lederband der Zeit (durch Feuchtigkeit oxydiert). Im Anhang sein erst spät edierter Briefwechsel mit Leibniz zum "optimus mundus".

A few of us spent the morning looking through the 2022 JCB acquisitions.
Stay tuned for highlights!
