Entropy

[Mark Kohut]

yeah, not "publisher' remainders, fer sure. Perhaps bought from some defunct distributor/wholesaler?

I know of a guy who bought a case of V. from a mid-western wholesaler going out of business in the
late 70s or 80s and a guy who bought almost a case of GR, hardcover, when he had to get Viking's
warehouse in shape in the 80-90s! and stumbled upon them.....

Thanks Dave,
I bought up the rest of them. I was curious as to where they came from as well and all the store could tell me was that they was 'remainders'. Thirty something year old remainders??!! I dont think so...
