Would the lady who sent us payment for a delivery of the Bob Peak book contact us on the store's phone # please?
OK, to this week's new arrivals and given the inability of mainstream publishers to honor their initial on sale dates, let's be grateful to small and independent publishers for getting out new and original books.

Axel is an animation and comic artist with 15 years on the clock as a professional.
These images were created on a trip to China and Japan, if you like your pages absolutely crammed with robotics and funny faces then this book should tickle your fancy.
ERIC CANETE DEDICACE
SC 42pp Black + White
Stuart Ng Books
Our friend Stuart Ng has an amazing business in the LA suburb of Torrance and recently he had ace artist Eric Canete at his show room to sign copies of Eric's incredible retrospective Encore, for attending fans.
The images Eric created at this event where so good that Stuart decided to collect some of them in this book, the result is a fascinating collection of sketches with the freshness and spontaneity unique to these circumstances but which also testify to Eric's extraordinary talent and ability.
PAUL BONNER SKETCHES
SC 44pp Black + White
Stuart Ng Books
A book from Paul is a pretty rare event, all too rare in my opinion but then work as good as Paul's takes a while to produce.
Anyway to mark his appearance at the Spectrum Live event past this summer in Kansas City, Paul teamed up with Stuart Ng to produce this book of his sketches.
If you like glowering, gloomy dwarfs peering out from under their heavy brows, or snarling demons and orcs with vicious fangs erupting from their slobbering maws then this is the book for you.
A timely arrival given Peter Jackson has just released the fist of his Hobbit films, which of course is a festival of all things fantastical and a celebration of wee folk!
And we stay in the realm of the diminutive, as we help Disney celebrate the 75th anniversary - with not one but two books - on the best movie adaptation of the Grimm boys tale, Snow White.
(Being the best adaptation of this tale might not be a huge accolade, "Snow White and the Huntsman" was completely compromised by the infamous talking mirror which had a grasp on female attractiveness about as firm as Karl Largerfeld's.
The same observation holds for "Mirror,Mirror", automatic assumptions that younger is better by the fashionistas who determine what's in or out in the world of fashion and media are just too pathetic, particularly given how wizened and wrinkly half these dried up old husks are!
Anyway, these live action films are good to look at but can't hope to match the achievement of task master Walt and his team.)
SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS
HC 256pp Color, Black + White
Weldon Owen
A through exploration, profusely illustrated, of the making of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs the original ground breaking full color animated feature film.
This fascinating book explores the production of the film, charting all the highs and lows experienced by the team as they worked to bring the project to its triumphal conclusion, with superb illustrations from every aspect of the film's production.
THE FAIREST ONE OF ALL
HC 320pp Color Black + White
Weldon Owen
While this book covers some of the territory of its predecessor it is a more comprehensive examination of the process and the cultural impact of this seminal film which ushered in the golden age of classic animation.
Again like its predecessor it features rare illustrations from the Disney archives covering film production but also designs for the movie poster and merchandising.
Finally to what must be one of the GOPs favorite comic books, featuring as it does a healthysh farther daughter relationship and their fearsome arsenal of guns!
BODYBAGS 2 THEORIES OF VIOLENCE
SC 112pp Color
12 Gauge/Image
So yes this is really a graphic novel and we generally leave these to our sister store Pulp's Comics but given this is one of those rarest of beasts a comic story by the amazing Jason Pearson, we felt it had to be offered by us.
So Panda and her Pa, Clown Face, are bounty hunters in the near future, what they lack in planning they make up for with ammo and attitude.
This second collection features the last four PC lite adventures of the farther and daughter team, including two extremely rare stories originally published by Dark Horse in black and white but recolored for this edition.
I leave you with some information, we have a brand new batch of laminates including paintings by Norman Rockwell and Frank C McCarthy and we have a restock of new printings of Kim Jung Gi's sketchbooks, both 2007 and 2011 though the supplier has made these new printings a tad more expensive than their previous incarnations.
So, if you need inspiration for original or rare gift ideas might we suggest you make a B line to Pulp's Art!
