Books I Want This Book
posted by November 11 at 15:00 PM
onHang Fire Books just put this cover up on their blog:
I’m a big fan of Second Coming novels—Only Begotten Daughter by James Morrow is a particular favorite, and this one looks cheesily delicious. If any used bookstores in town have this on their shelf right now and available for purchase, please let me know. I will love you forever.
UPDATE: Bookstoregirl, in the comments, found the book and had it put on hold for me at Twice Sold Tales. I just dragged my lazy ass to the bookstore and bought it. In conclusion, I will love both Bookstoregirl and Twice Sold Tales Forever.

Hah - I read that when I was a teen. I remember nothing, except I do believe it was cheesily delicious.
I looks like there are 30 used copies for sale in America, and 8 in Washington:

paul i just called twice sold tales in capitol hill. the book is on hold for you. mass market. should be around $2-3.
The cover makes it look like the romance novel version of The Fountainhead.
I'm being reminded of "A Creed For The Third Millenium"...
Holy shit...my dad had that in his collection when I was a kid.
Only Begotten Daughter is one of my all-time favorites. It was one of the first books I ordered when I joined the SciFi Book Club.
How did the '70s have such awful fashions yet such awesome book covers and movie posters?
Holy shit! Thanks, bookstoregirl @3!
Is that dubya?
Wow. I read this book when I was 13. It was very entertaining, to a 13 year old.
