Books for the taking, the 2006 edition: Part IV

This should be it for BEA books, thank heavens. Previous posts are here, here, and here; you can still claim anything in those posts, too. The rules are in part one, but the basics are: claim as much or as little as you want and don't worry about asking for too much. There are duplicates of some of these, so go ahead and ask even if someone else already has. Postage is free, too, but if you want to send us cookies we won't say no.

The Grays. Whitley Strieber. August 2006. Signed. ( X-Filesish fiction )

( Two manga samplers. )

Anne Freaks Volume 1. Yua Kotegawa. March 2006. Manga. ( This opens with Yuri burying his mom, whom he has just killed; then Anne Freaks shows up, tells him it's a bad place because someone will surely find the body, knocks him out, and does a better job of body disposal.  )

Neon Genesis Evangelion: Angelic Days Volume 1. Fumino Hayashi. May 2006. Manga. ( An alternate reality of the original Evangelion )

Missouri Boy. Leland Myrick. September 2006. ( Graphic novel memoir )

The Way of the Wilderking. Jonathan Rogers. May 2006. ( I haven't read this; extrapolation from back cover copy follows )

How I Lost 10 Pounds in 53 Years: A Memoir. Kaye Ballard with Jim Hesselman. September 2006. ( Hollywood Comedian's Memoir With Revealing Anecdotes )

On Christmas Eve. Ann M. Martin. October 2006. ( Christmas book. Um, obviously. )

SuperVariety Sudoku. James E. Riley, ed. No lj-cut necessary; it's a book of sudoku and dual sudoku and wordoku puzzles.

The following books are signed to one of us, or to some random person. (Some people don't follow directions well, don't take no for an answer, or refuse to just sign their books, for fear that they will turn up on EBay or something. The people most concerned about EBay are frequently the people who have least reason to be concerned.)

Memories of Empire. Django Wexler. September 2005. ( Haven't read it, but the usually guessing will happen behind the cut )

An Unreasonable Woman: A True Story of Shrimpers, Politicos, Polluters, and the Fight for Seadrift, Texas. Diane Wilson. September 2005. ( Think Erin Brockovich, only with the county leading the nation in toxic emissions )

The Water Prescription for Health Vitality and Rejuvenation. Christopher Vasey. ( This isn't someone who was confused about signing; this is someone who would not leave m_shell alone until she agreed to take a copy )

TV Guide: Celebrating an Icon. Stephen Hofer, ed. March 2006. ( For those interested in pop culture, this contains a color reproduction of every tv guide cover. Ever. )

And sundries: temporary tattoos with the domiKNITrix logo; a set of twenty postcards by Brom, goth but cooler than anticipated from the images I'd previously seen; buttons and pins (I Lie for a Living, Kids Rule, The President's Nemesis, Mindful Politics: It's the Ego, Stupid, etc, good as bases for crafters); a guitar pick; a stretchy bracelet that says "anime wa inochi"; miscellaneous posters; and, for anyone who actually read this far, North-South Books' fab promotion: a Rainbow Fish t-shirt, sized Kids L (6-8). Said t-shirt is text-free; it's just the shiny rainbow fish from the book cover.

ETA: Also we have Arden Shakespeare Books of Quotations. These are cute mini books (with excellent paper) of themed Shakespeare quotes; we have two each of Love, Nature, and the Seven Ages of Man, and six each of Life and Death.
