You'll never believe what I've come across: The book that Gryphon read while on his way back to the Wayward Son to take his revenge on Carson D. Carson, Archives of The Shadow!

The description Gryphon gave of it was a little off, though, but here it is:

Having finished _The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich_, he got
up from the table and paced across the large room to the shelf where
he had acquired it, and as he slid it back into the ranks of books,
his eyes seemed drawn to glance at another, taller book standing a few
spaces down the row. He reached up and pulled it out -- it was black,
bound in leather, and the cover had the words "ARCHIVES OF THE SHADOW
- W. GIBSON" stamped in gold foil on it.
"Wow," Gryphon murmured. "Where'd they find -this-?"

The actual thing does not have the title stamped in gold foil, but is deeply embossed on the front with the title, Shadow logo, and author's name (W. Gibson), leatherbound in black, accented in red, and is about 600 pages long. I can't figure out how to upload to my @!#$ Internet supplier, so anyone who wants pictures can email to get a scan of the front cover.

Whoops! Email for those who wanted a picture is: ultimas@pacbell.net

Wow... I'm impressed I came so close, given that I made that book up. :)

Okay, here it is, all who have waited with baited breath:

It has a picture of the book's cover, and a short description. There are some colored spots on the cover in the picture, apparently some artifact of the scanning process, but they don't mess it up too much.

Huh. Who'd've thought. Wish I had a copy...
