No, I'm not buying it .
But it's still cool as hell. I so wish I could buy shit like this. J & H and a vintage of Frankenstein? *__* The only thing that could possibly cooler would be original printings of Poe's stuff, in the mags that bought his works.
Aha, I've never bothered to look at sites that specialize in this sort of thing b/c it would make me cry for yearning.
I don't usually go for the old stuff, I'm content to abuse my modern copies, but I would cheerfully kill for original printings of these books and some old Yoshitoshi prints. Especially Moon of the Enemy's Lair *_____* I would die. I'd settle for anything from100 Aspects of the Moon, really. Or 32 Ghosts. Or the Fujiwara no Yasumasa Playing the Flute By Moonlight. Aha, I'd forgotten 'til now just how much a fangirl I am. I love the usual wood-block artists, but Yoshitoshi has my heart. Gomi-chan bought me a book of his Moon prints and it makes me happy happy. Especially Moon of the Enemy's Lair, which is from a story about Japan's first bishounen.
