Titled "Marketplace," it contains the usual advertisements for people looking to buy and sell out-of-print books.
But some of the other items are strange, obscure or creepy. Here's a rundown:
- "STARTRIPPING" Epic SFantasy novel in comics form. Thick, high quality stock, color cover and dust jacket! 1.50, make checks payable to David Reulet. Send to Dave Reulet and Dragon Grafix, RD #6, Saratoga Springs, N.Y. 12066. [Me: Does anyone have this book??]
- HOROSCOPE: Send birth date/place/Time - $10.00: Keddy, Box 203, Oquossoc, Maine, 04964 [Me: $10 in 1977 is the equivalent of $40 today. Yikes!]

It would be interesting to check in with some of these folks, nearly 40 years later. I'm especially interested in how Terry's efforts are going.
