Screenplays and comics to trade

I must, I must, I must reduce my stuff. I have more things to trade, should anyone want to do a clutter-transfer.

Yoon, the Crusie is yours. Email me your address, and I'll mail it to you.

Two Amar Chitra Kathas-- these are Indian comics in English. These are very cool, and I'm only getting rid of them because they're duplicates.

KRISHNA: The boyhood of the God, in which he is raised in secret among cowherders, but performs miracles in pursuit of mischief and other kidlike goals.

THE RANI OF JHANSI: A historical comic about the queen who fought the British during the Mutiny of 1858.

Screenplays: these are early drafts or shooting scripts, and may or may not hew closely to the finished movie. They have heavy paper covers, are Xeroxed, and are held together with brads. I'm trading some because I've accumulated TONS during my years of Hollywood, they take up a lot of space, and I don't really read acreenplays for fun any more. But they're all pretty interesting, especially if you're curious to see how drafts evolve, and I don't think any of them are commercially available, or at least not at the draft stage.

HONEYMOON IN VEGAS, by Andrew Bergman

THE HUDSUCKER PROXY, by Joel and Ethan Coen

THELMA AND LOUISE, by Callie Khouri

EDWARD SCISSORHANDS, by Caroline Thompson

THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, by Frank Darabont

THE STUNT MAN, by Lawrence Marcus and Richard Rush

ENDER'S GAME, by Nicholas Sagan. An old but official draft, fairly faithful up until the climax.

My wish list

Oops, forgot to mention what I wanted to trade for. I'm going to keep this fairly general, so if anyone wants anything, they can tell me what they have that might qualify.

Manga and anime generally. Particularly anything in fansubs that doesn't have an official US release yet, since I definitely won't have it.

Any sf, fantasy, or children's books that were only published in Australia, the UK, or India.

Anything Japan or India-related, fiction or non-fiction.

Out of print children's books or YA books or very obscure out of print sf or fantasy. Like those '70s Dell YA "problem" novels.

Conversely, any interesting and very new books, as in released this year or last, any genre.

Extremely out-of-print pulp fiction.

Rachel Manija Mehera Brown could not cut her reading down

Since I am only moved to extemporaneous poetry about once every ten years, your last chance for the next ten years to read a sample (and be glad it doesn't occur more often) is buried in the comments section of my last post.

ANGEL SANCTUARY just got added to my stack. (I was actually looking for X/1999 15.) I have two and a half entire shelves filled with manga, which caused me to buy another bookcase, which, I realize belatedly, is what may have caused my back/shoulder injury. So manga has cost me not only hundreds of dollars from the cover price, but physical pain, lost work days, lost writing days, and whatever the insurance won't pay for in terms of doctor's bills, drugs, and physical therapy.

Manga: it's not just a hobby, it's an addiction.
