As ...Dear Bishop Manchester!<br /> As a complement to my previous message i must advise you (if you are ever interested to acquire any of the books i told you about in my previous message), not to buy recent reprints of these books such as those published by Kessinger Publishing, as they are incredibly poor reproductions of the original works. As an example, a friend of mine recently bought a Kessinger version of A. Osborne Eaves' "Modern Vampirism", and he was really (and rightly) disappointed. Indeed, i saw that book and so, i can confirm you that it is an incredibly cheap publication. It goes as far as to omit some parts of the text, and some other parts of the texts are erased, leaving blanks sections inside the pages, etc. In short, an absolutely unrespectful publication (unrespectful to the author and to the readers as well). So, (if you are ever interested of course), you would certainly do well to do like i did and stick on trying to find original old publications of these works. These are hard to find of course (and expensive as well), but at the end, the patience is very well rewarded.<br /><br />P.S.: Your book "Carmel" should arrive here within the next few days. Cant wait to read it.<br /><br />Wishing you all the best,<br /> Hans Verschelden.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6523061687232266680.post-46575567877741403982011-08-21T19:10:04.645-07:002011-08-21T19:10:04.645-07:00Dear Bishop Manchester!
Sho...Dear Bishop Manchester!<br /> Shopping at Abebooks.com can be very interesting and ... rewarding. For example, after having bought Montague Summer's Book "The Vampire: His kith and kin" (an excellent book indeed), i looked at its bibliography and found many very interesting titles. Then, i searched Abebooks inventory to try to find some of these interesting titles and was lucky enough to find these: 1) "Dissertazione sopra i vampiri", by Giuseppe Davanzati; 2) "An Historical, Physiological, and Theological Treatise of Spirits, Apparitions, Witchcrafts, and other Magical Practices", by John Beaumont; 3) "Modern Vampirism", by Osborne A. Eaves; and finally, 4) "The Masticatione Mortuorum in Tumulis Liber", by Michael Ranft. However, i was not lucky enough to find the essential work by John Heinrich Zopft: "Dissertatio de Vampiris Seruiensibus". This one is more scarce than any of the others!! In fact, i doubt to be able to find a copy of that book (and if i ever find one, then it certainly will be intolerably expensive). Now, concerning the film you told me about, i must admit that i would be very happy to see the results of this very nice project. I would certainly buy this film (if available), no doubt about that.
