So I started watching the Apple tv series The Changeling, based on the Victor Lavelle novel, and at the very beginning there is shown a shelf of books in a library in Queens. I always cue in to the titles of books when they show up as props in a film or in a series. So imagine my surprise to see one of my own books, Tales Before Tolkien, in this shot from The Changeling.

I can recognize a few other titles, like Fiasco (which book of that title is unclear), A Stranger Among Us: Stories of Cross Cultural Collision and Connections, The Other Islands of New York City, a Sidney Sheldon book (I can't discern the title), my book, and Tellers of Tales (presumably the W. Somerset Maugham book, and not the Roger Lancelyn Green one, which is not as thick as the former). If these titles, singly or in toto, are meant to foreshadow anything of the plot, it escapes me. But I enjoyed the diversion.
