The Dancer From Atlantis by Frank Frazetta
Just had some collector's serendipity on this book. I saw it last year at Tattered Books in Grand Island, Nebraska (anybody seen Bruce Dern in Nebraska?), but it was in pretty bad shape and seven bucks, so I Pasadena'd on getting it, then often regretted that this past winter. When I realized I was passing through on Monday, I decided if it was still there, I would get it. Grand Island's downtown, however, is pretty sleepy, and most shops, including Tattered Books, are closed on Mondays. Rats! says I, trying to peer in a dark window. Four days later, tonight, we're sitting at an outdoor pub in Lafayette, Colorado, when I see across the street two little neon signs--Open and Books. And there it was, a pristine copy for five bucks....nice
