Om mig I live in Pittsburgh with entirely too many books, and have no intentions of changing that, ever. :)

Just got to book #1,000: The Volume Library, by Educators Association, 1931, from the few remaining books that belonged to my grandfather. Very excited that my 1K book was a meaningful one!

I'm working on making my collection more specific now, weeding out things that I don't really see a need to keep and sticking to things I really like, such as the Civil War, anthologies, trade paperbacks, and manga. I'm also trying to get more of my books in hardcover wherever possible, now that I'm shifting to a more permanent collection.

Hi Rob,
feel free to look thru my civil war holdings & see if a title or two interests you. Cheers, A
Hello, you asked about recommendations for overlooked series. It kind of depends on what you like to read, but there are plenty of series that I think more people probably need to read. I'll break it up by genre.

Horror:
- "Panorama of Hell" (Hideshi Hino, 1 vol)
- "Red Snake" (Hideshi Hino, 1 vol)
- "Mermaid Saga" (Rumiko Takahashi, 4 vol)
- "Bride of Deimos" (Ashibe/Ikeda, 7 vol in English) - a girlier horror series
- "Dragon Head" (Minetaro Mochizuki, 10 vol) - may not actually be that overlooked, still good

Action:
- "Law of Ueki" (Tsubasa Fukuchi, 16 vol)
- "From Eroica With Love" (Yasuko Aoike, 34+ vol) - one of my absolute favorites, on the girlier side of action, extremely overlooked, first volume is terrible though, especially the mostly unrelated first chapter.

Romance (aimed at boys):
"Flowers and Bees" (Moyoko Anno, 7 vol)

Romance (aimed at girls):
- "DVD" (Korean, Kye Yong Chon, 6 vol) - isn't really a romance, kind of weird
- "Guru Guru Pon-chan" (Satomi Ikezawa, 9 vol) - more for little girls, but has some of the best characters I've ever read... I'm ashamed to like it, but it's really really good
- Tomoko Taniguchi one-shots, especially "Call Me Princess," "Aquarium," and the 2-volume "Just a Girl."

Drama (for girls):
- "Swan" (Kyoko Ariyoshi, 21 vol) - girly. seriously girly, but also quite good and has fantastic page composition

Not great, but not getting the attention they deserve:
- Knights of the Zodiac (Masami Kuromada, 28 vol) - action. manly.
- +Anima (Natsumi Mukai, 10 vol) - adventure/fantasy

Also, "Jojo's Bizarre Adventure" is a really popular series in Japan, and I think a lot of people have heard of it, but I don't think anyone's reading it in English (it got moved to a quarterly schedule, which I assume means it sold poorly). It's literally one of the most insane action series I've ever read, and it's baffling that it's not finding more of an audience among English comic fans, because it's got all the right ingredients.
I was not involved w/ that event. thanks for asking.
Not sure which open house you are asking of.

Please advise

Paxtonville.
