The Collectible Neil Gaiman

[sharki69]

So anyone doing that New York event? I would love a signed Sandman Overture.

I have friend there who can go and probably get some copies. However I'll need to pay her something. So if anyone else is interested we can split the cost.

Let me know

[Booknutt]

I would be.

[Lookwhoitis]

I'd be down with a copy (depending on price)

[WeDealInLead]

I'd be interested too.

[cit74]

you need to rsvp to attend - that is free - but looks like the rsvp list is already full - so there is a stand by line that you have to get into for the event.

Saw that. However it is hosted by congregation..... I may find a way if needed...

That's true - he's also been at the jccsf a few times up around here.

cool - mine should be arriving soon too. But i only paid for it back in 2013 (I think) - might've been 2014, but likely 2013...

Wow!

[ELazansky]

I'm happy that it was finally published. It came out really nice.

Getting some of the bonus materials turned in and the signature sheets signed was like pulling teeth, but I think it was worth it in the end!

As I await my copy, just what is the bonus material, exactly? Can't remember what eventually turned out to be extra in it.

If i remember correctly, someone was collecting the different editions / illustrations of FORTUNATELY THE MILK?
Looks like that the french edition will be released next week, with a french illustrator

[Kingfan24]

Anyone interested in a f/f sub press limited of Coraline?

[cit74]

If anyone's interested in signed copies of upcoming overture - you can email the event coordinator directly and they'll send out an email with link for orders next week.

hal@communitybookstore.net

Thanks Chad. I'll mark it as an order and will send you a link following the program. More soon.

Got mine too - thanks for the link - wonder what number we will all have

[Patrick]

Thanks for the link, I just placed an order.

[cit74]

And if you want one without a signed bookplate - these were from the event this past Monday:

A little cheaper - not sure how many copies remain

Nice - I'm guessing we will see a few in the 90's to low 100 - if we all ordered when that link was posted. Should be getting my other copy in a few days from NY

[Johnny Alien]

I ordered mine when the link was posted yet have gotten no shipping notification or any sign that it's been shipped. I am in PA so you would think NY to PA would be pretty quick since they said they would ship all orders made before the 10th on the 10th.

I'm in IA and got mine yesterday. I didn't get a shipping notice, either.

I must have been quick with my ordering, because I ended up with number 12. That's the number I request when I'm able to, so it was definitely an added bonus to receive it in a scenario where requesting wasn't an option.

Signed copy from the event. Not as fancy as the "limited" :)

I ordered on of those. It's in transit.

I really like the bookplate limited and so just ordered on of those too. I won't be getting as low a number but I don't mind.

[cit74]

Got my copy today as well. It'll be a nice reading copy. I really do like the bookplate - it'll be a nice addition

[TacomaDiver]

Hola!

As a very long time lurker, I finally signed up this morning. (Used to use a ton of other web forums but time and life interfered and I cut those visits back to zero.)

This thread got me thinking about a lot of my Gaiman signed items (I don't own any of the super fancy versions quite a few of you have, but I do own most of his first edition books that I got signed in-person, and the sweet "hobby market" edition of Coraline.)

But I digress . . .

What really got me thinking while looking at all of your books, is if anyone is familiar with a poster called Faces of Death. I'm not 100% sure if that's what it was truly called (Google doesn't help me too much because it's almost always the movie series . . .)

I have a copy of it in the garage somewhere that I want to dig up and look at, but it is something that I bought from Westfield Comics in the mid to late 90s (95-97 specifically) that was basically a poster that a ton of writers and artists collaborated on where they drew little boxes of ways to die. Yeah, it sounds morbid. Gaiman did a doodle (I don't recall what he depicted) and I had him sign it on the Stardust book tour.

I'll definitely dig this up and take a picture but I was just curious if anyone else knew about this one.

Thanks!

[TacomaDiver]

Hola!

Second time posting this (not sure what happened the first time. I thought it said that my post had to be approved but it hasn't shown up since Sunday but another post on another thread appeared, so I'm not sure.)

But I digress ...

I actually signed up (after LOTS of lurking) because of this thread. Just looking at some of the amazing Gaiman editions out there got me thinking about what I have. Last stuff that I've gotten signed in person (starting from a comic event back in 1993) and on his tour for Neverwhere and others.

The coolest book I have is either the hobby market edition of Coraline or maybe the first hardcover Sandman collections or some of the books from Dreamhaven. Who knows.

Anyway - I have one item that I've never seen anywhere else and was wondering if anyone has come across it. It's a poster called Faces of Death and it came out in 1994. I remember buying it from Westfield Comics. It had a bunch of little squares that various artists and writers drew their version of death. Neil drew something and I had him sign the poster while on his Stardust tour.

I dug it up and will post pictures when I am able to.

But has anyone else come across this poster? I haven't looked at it in easily 20 years until this weekend. It's actually really cool and would be awesome to get everyone to sign it but that would probably be a full time job upon itself.

[sharki69]

Hello taco and welcome to the board !

Personally it's the first time that I hear of this poster but I'm pretty new to collecting (3-4 years). I'm sure other experienced long time gaiman collectors members will chime in and respond.

Explore, browse, ask and enjoy. This is a great forum with very very nice people :)

[Br!an]

Hello taco and welcome to the board !



How you went from Tacoma, WA to taco will take some pondering :orely:

Although anywhere along the west coast you are likely to find a decent taco.

¡Órale!

[cit74]

Maybe if he has been watching the League - then an easy way to get to Taco. Looking forward to seeing a copy of the poster. One of my favorite prints is Roman Dirges little dead girl killing Neil - signed by them both.

Welcome aboard

[TacomaDiver]

Think that this will be my fifth post so I can post pictures after. Just need to take pictures of said poster now.

I also ordered a remarque - you could select a story so I asked for one related to 'How the Marquis got his coat back'. This is the end result:

I keep reading your screenname as TacomaDriver, so I keep wanting to say, "Me too! What year? How many miles?" Then I realize you mean the city, not the pickup truck.

In other news, today I received #196 of ROGUES (no remarque). What a beautiful overall production. I'm really impressed with this one.

[TacomaDiver]

Just as soon as I have my right number of posts (and is there a way to not have to have a moderator approve all of my posts?) I'll take some pictures of that Faces of Death poster I have.

ETA - I'm off the moderator must approve list! Yay. Of course I think one of my replies went missing, but that's okay.

I'll take some pictures tomorrow (it's too dark now.)

For the Sandman collector in you: head over to B&N and buy the first two Annotated Sandman books and the third one is free. That also gets you free shipping. Then head on over to http://instocktrades.com and cop the Annotated Sandman IV for $25+ $4 s&h. That is four massive books for roughly $90.

I haven't collected the Sandman books but I think I got Overture for Christmas. Does it matter about printings on these?

Printings on the Annotated? No.
The Sandman has been reprinted so many times now.

After nearly a year of the signed copies - the remarqued ones are finally available:

http://www.dynamite.com/htmlfiles/viewProduct.html?PRO=C1606906089#previewImages

Looks like just 200 and signed by Gaiman and zulli, NOT by Alice Cooper - like the initial signed ones. I guess it took a little time to sketch all 200 copies - other sites say #250 - but the publisher site is updated to state 200 copies. The remarqued look pretty cool and a fairly cheap price. I had a pre-order from midtown comics that will finall be filled - and shipping soon. They have them listed on their site for a bit less too:

http://www.midtowncomics.com/store/dp.asp?PRID=Neil+Gaimans+The+Last+Tem_1385412

Thanks for sandman sale info - I'll skip though, already have original set of absolute - too big to add another set.

Guess they were left with a few extra copies - thats a pretty darn good price...with or with the extra 25% off - I never saw extra amazon coupons before - you always find discounts.

I had been emailing Dynamite directly about once a quarter asking if the last temptation was ever going to be finished - they always responded kindly and quickly that yes they were working on it. That was the oldest email in my book inbox - since i go through that weekly to double check what should be coming or - or needs paid for, etc. I never received an email from midtown yet - but my order page finally said processing/ready to ship - so we will see.

Honestly, no. I don't even see them advertised as first printings on most eBay listings. I don't think I ever even checked what printings I have.

If you came across one in person and you made sure it was mint, I'd say go for it. Otherwise, get them new and be 100% sure they haven't been red-flagged. Buying used comics is a risky business.

hence why i have to stop here daily - since someone usually finds the great items - that a single person could never keep track of.

I only stumbled upon it while searching "Limited editions". It came up as the most relevant book

I'm glad some folks were able to steal it at that price.

Read the french version of "FORTUNATELY THE MILK" yesterday, that has exclusive illustrations by Boulet (and those are pretty good!)

There is also an introduction where among 2 lines Neil Gaiman compliment the illustrator (but I guess that it's the same introduction for every edition, with the artist name being different)

I finally got around to taking pictures of that Faces of Death poster that I bought back in 94/95.

Here's the full image of all of the various artwork.

And lastly, a close-up of Neil's contribution, complete with autograph that I acquired on the Stardust novel tour.

I don't know much about the origins of this poster, other than I purchased in from Westfield Comics back in 1994 or 1995. Full of art work from writers, artists, movie guys (like Terry Gilliam for example.) Be a really massive undertaking to get each segment signed (excluding the fact that I already spotted a few names belonging to people who've passed.)

[somekindofstranger]

I have added a couple of nice additions to my collection recently - first of all one of my 'holy grails' - The Special Advance copy of Stardust - slipcased and signed.

Adventures looks really nice, congrats. I've added a bunch too. I received all four volumes of Annotated Sandman. They're very, very nice books.

[somekindofstranger]

I keep looking at the annotated books, but am working on picking up the absolute editions at the moment.

[cit74]

Nice - hopefully mine should be here soon - wonder how variant the remarques are

mine is similar to Shac's

just got mine today - very similar as well - little differences around the hat, eyes, mouth, etc. But basically same "pose"

And it looks like midtown has more copies and instocktrades has them slightly cheaper as well - in case anyone still looking

This was part of a small Charles Vess collection that I bought, probably five years or more ago now. Of interest to Gaiman readers in that it contains a two-page excerpt from "The False Knight on the Road," illustrated by Vess.

Sounds more like "fortunately" to me. :orely:

[mkberger]

Took advantage of the bad weather to do some scanning for my Core Collection. One I hadn't fondled in awhile:

http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e306/KNOMEOR/WIZARDS-Small_zpsr1iyiwq1.jpg

In addition to a number of absolutely fabulous stories (Elizabeth Hand's "Winter's Wife" is a personal favorite) this anthology was notable for the appearance of "The Witch's Headstone," which was the first published portion from THE GRAVEYARD BOOK. The back cover of the proof clearly states that that story--about which there was Much Buzz--would only be available in the finished book, but it is in fact included here. I seem to recall that there were two versions of the advance copies, one with and one without... if anyone recalls, or has a copy without, would welcome a comment back.

Take a Peek Inside Neil Gaiman's Library (io9 article) (http://io9.gizmodo.com/5352953/take-a-peek-inside-neil-gaimans-library/)

Honestly, for a multi-millionaire, both the condition of the books and his shelves are pretty underwhelming.

That room seems to fit his personality and those books look to be for pleasure/reading and not collecting.

Agree - lots of books - and a lot by King, straub, Herbert, powers, Adams, moore, etc.

[WeDealInLead]

Oh, I agree 100%. Maybe I'm just spoiled from looking at all the superb collections in the Corner.

[Booknutt]

I've noticed writers are an odd lot when it comes to books. They love them, they aquire them in bunches. But they don't really "collect" them.

As those library pics are from six years ago, I'd like to see current photos. I wonder how much more packed it is now.

Just got two Gaiman signed books - sorry this is a teaser as they are both being shipped now. He's just a contributor in these books - but they are both in pretty low supply - so really looking forward to adding them to the collection. Pretty sure i have not seen these particular books posted here yet. One he wrote the intro and the other he has a story - so I will let you guess away (except for becca since she already knows) if you like.

story in: impossible monsters? taverns of the dead?
intro: machineries of joy? Annotated Dracula?

too many more to guess..... :-)

[cit74]

I know - there's a ton of possibilities. But those above are still pretty available. Although the Machineries of Joy is tough to find - but still 100 of those. These two though, there are 52 or less (unsure of exact number but less than 50) of each. One is from Overlook and the other from Centipede Press.. So that should narrow it down considerably.

[RC65]

Maybe A MOUNTAIN WALKING (Centipede)..? I think I saw an auction the other day where there was a copy of the Centipede HC that Gaiman had signed (he was one of three authors who did not sign the book upon publication).

Yep that would be one of them - there's another copy ending this Saturday - so still a chance for someone else.

There was a separate translucent signature page signed by gaiman and t.c. Boyle that was bound into the first several dozen - between the other signature pages. The number I got is 46 - so I'm guessing there are at least 46 of these

Not very heavy - since it is cut out on both sides - and has glass insert there. I was able to find it from an overseas seller for under issue price - so I couldn't pass it up. That is only about my 4th wooden slipcase - I have 3 other DOLSO cases...all on different shelves :)

OK Neil Gaiman fans.....I am selling my entire Neil Gaiman collection and am EXCLUSIVELY listing it here (and over in the Calvin's Corner area) and am going to delay listing on my Betts Books site to give you all a chance FIRST.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, if you want a book, you must email me at david@bettsbooks.com.

Here's my newest Gaiman edition - Bright Shock! - limited to 100 signed and numbered copies. There is a signature line for King, but he did not sign. Maybe one day I will run into him and have this book on me.

http://i1196.photobucket.com/albums/aa411/ELazansky/Books/Brighton%20Shock_zpsrlv30pc2.jpg

[Booknutt]

Nice. I have one of those but it's in a red slip case and only signed by Jones. But it is numbered 1 of 15. Not sure the exact number I have.

[cit74]

nice new edition. Have seen that around before - but had never picked one up.

Heres a nice listing for 3 HH books - all same number - AG, Melinda and A screenplay

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Gaiman-AMERICAN-GODS-SIGNED-SLIPCASED-NUMBERED-Hill-House-Good-Omens-Melinda-NEW-/272139484083?hash=item3f5cc6fbb3:g:b1QAAOSwLVZV3zx T

plus the seller managed to have their business card in the first picture - with contact info - bet you could email him and make an offer...

[sharki69]

Very nice Eric ! congrats

[cit74]

Well - I didn't really see this one coming, but i guess i should have:

http://www.amazon.com/Graveyard-Graphic-Single-Special-Limited/dp/0062394495/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1456505796&sr=8-6&keywords=neil+gaiman+graveyard+book

So a new 1500 copy s/l edition of the graveyard book - graphic novel. I never bought any of the signed copies of the two volume set. So now i will wait for this one:

The Graveyard Book Graphic Novel is now available in a gorgeous, limited clothbound edition, featuring both New York Times bestselling volumes bound as one, new cover art, and special extra content. Now 1,500 people can revel in The Graveyard Book Graphic Novel in a new way with this limited printing of numbered copies—all signed by Neil Gaiman!

Each chapter in this adaptation by P. Craig Russell is illustrated by a different luminary from the comic book world, showcasing a variety of styles from a breadth of talent. Together, they bring Neil Gaiman’s award-winning, nationally bestselling novel The Graveyard Book to new life in this gorgeously illustrated single-volume graphic novel adaptation.

This special limited edition of The Graveyard Book Graphic Novel includes:
Both volumes of the graphic novel adaptation (2014) bound into one edition
Brand-new cover art by P. Craig Russell
A cloth slipcase
An extra 32 pages at the end of the book, including a note from Neil Gaiman, sketches from the artists, and notes from the artists and P. Craig Russell about the experience of adapting The Graveyard Book into a graphic novel
Numbered editions signed by Neil Gaiman!

Well time to start searching and finding other vendors to see if better pricing.

I really enjoyed the comic adaptation. I will certainly buy one of these.

Waiting for the comic version of Ocean to eventually show up...I need more editions of Ocean.

oh can't wait for that one - but there will be at least 5 comic adaptions - man did that book ever beat down what the idea of a signed limited was

[Patrick]

...Waiting for the comic version of Ocean to eventually show up...I need more editions of Ocean.
Hahahahahahhahaha! Don't we all?

I preordered the new GRAVEYARD.

Eric, I'm jealous of your BRIGHTON SHOCK. Congrats!

[swintek]

$175.00 for a reprint- of an adaptation?! No thanks. I was waiting for a nice $30-40 single volume edition, but certainly not this. That is ridiculous, and I don't say that too often. Hopefully, probably, there will be an unsigned ("Unspecial") single volume later.

[wizardsrainbow]

Gaiman just announced on his Twitter that there's going to be a special illustrated edition of Neverwhere coming out this year.

I predict a trade, a trade with a tipped-in signature and an official S/L. Did I miss something?

Gaiman just announced on his Twitter that there's going to be a special illustrated edition of Neverwhere coming out this year.

I read that too. I assumed it was going to be just an illustrated edition. I wasn't thinking another s/l. I guess we will wait and see.

Gaiman’s second book this year will be a special edition of his first novel Neverwhere, illustrated by children’s laureate Chris Riddell.

Gaiman said: “Chris Riddell is an amazing artist. Last year Neverwhere was voted, by the public, their most beloved book about London, and Chris drew the Neverwhere characters on a bench shaped like a book, that would go up for auction. From that moment on, his doom was sealed. He was going to have to draw the characters in the book that could be bought by everybody, not just the lucky winners of a bench in a charity auction. Unfortunately, Chris is the busiest man in the world, and, as well immediately made Children’s Laureate,‎ following this, getting him to draw Neverwhere seemed unlikely. Fortunately, he wanted to.”

The book will be published on 14th July 2016, priced £14.99.

At that price I don't expect a S/L. Assume it is just a nice new edition. I really like Chris' illustrations so will pick one up.

I was very happy to finally get a UK SL of THE GRAVEYARD BOOK from David at a fair price. Tough to do these days. I passed on this when it came out because I had the Subpress edition on order. Always regretted that I didn't get one. Thanks to David- I have now righted that wrong.

It's a nice book - I picked up my copy just a couple weeks back. I too had always just passed on it since I had the subpress copy - then gave in. I have a bunch of McKean signed books - so I liked adding this one. Then Becca caved and got a copy too.

Nice - Happy almost birthday - I found something else you might like for your birthday while you are at it:

these are just a little over priced...

http://camelotbooks.com/books/detail/american-gods

Considering that I've put together a non-matching set of the first offering for less than $1K - id say they're a wee bit overpriced...

[Patrick]

Very nice, becca! My couple of items from Betts showed up today as well. They're, um, early birthday presents to myself. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Until now I've only owned FRAGILE THINGS on audiobook.

[becca69]

I like that proof. It's cool when they include a dj. I still need a 1st trade of that book.

[Booknutt]

I was wondering if someone was going to grab that proof.

[Patrick]

As I did no research, I had no idea what the proof would look like, the level of scarcity, nor what the market price should be. I'm quite pleased with it. It seems unique with the type of paper used for the cover and then having its own dustjacket. Plus I just plain like the story.

I am off on April 30th - but Hockey will take up most of the day that Saturday. If I get out and get any copies ill let you know. There are 3 stores in napa/sonoma - about 45 min away (i have a friend close by there so i might ask his to swing by)

Would be great if you could. thanks :-)

[wolfehr]

There's a bookstore a 15-20 minute walk from me that's participating in Independent Bookstore Day. I was planning to and swing by and will pick up a few of the Neil Gaiman coloring books if they're available.

[ELazansky]

I'm gonna try to make to our local store that day as well.

[cit74]

I only wish I had a local bookstore within walking distance

PM sentinel (http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/private.php?do=newpm&u=1041). His bookstore is participating.

[cit74]

Even if they participate - they still have to decide to order those particular items. It's no guarantee that they'll be at every store - and each store might have a different allotment, again given how many they ordered.

[Patrick]

If anyone picks up an extra copy, I'd like one.

It's unlikely, but if I am able to secure one myself, I'd let you know so the extra can go to another member. Of course, I would try to get extra copies as well to pass along.

Thanks.

I don't see a link to order it on their website. Nor do I see a sold out message. Does anyone know the price and whether it is still available?

[bugen]

There was a link present earlier so they must have sold out of their available copies, but the pre-order link is still active from HarperCollins. Here you go:

We will have to keep our eyes open for signed copies of the view from the cheap seats due out 31 May.

Last week I signed 1,300 UK copies of VIEW FROM THE CHEAP SEATS, which will surface in Waterstones, and independent & High St Bookshops in the UK on May 31st and afterwards. It was not filmed. But if you are curious, this is what signing 1,200 copies of Ocean at the End of the Lane looks like... (Sped up.)

Might need help from our UK friends to get a copy. Also on the books Facebook page neil mentioned he'll be doing a similar signing for the U.S. Release - for Indy shops. So be on the lookout for your local indy online to find where we can order a copy.

[somekindofstranger]

Yeah, but how hard will it be to find another Gaiman signed copy??

I recently managed it :cool_002: Currently in transit to me.....

(have had to restrain from big purchases due to an unexpected garage bill a couple of months ago. this might see that restraining order go back on for another couple!)

Do we have somewhere a list of content?

[Cook]

If anyone has any interest in Gaiman's 1st/1st signed American Gods (the signed limited trade edition)
I have a copy for sale or trade, (prefer trading) I think the value is around 75
PM me
Thanks

[Booknutt]

Unless USPS messes up I have an extra ARC of the new Gaiman.
I really need cash right now so I'm going to let it go to the highest bidder between now and when it gets here. PM with your offers.

[Booknutt]

Wow nobody took me up on the ARC. I guess they're right, nonfiction doesn't sell. :p

And it's gone.

[cit74]

i just don't collect ARCs - not much space in the library, house, cupboards, closets...

The couple I have seen were signed in the same place.

[bugen]

Mine's the same (#73), with M.M.S and Gaiman swapped.

[somekindofstranger]

So, I joined 'the club' and acquired one of the few 'A Mountain Walked' editions that has Neil Gaiman and T.C Boyle's signatures added on the translucent sheet :-)

Regardless of the extra sigs, its a really nice book.

If anyone is getting the Neil Gaiman coloring book this Saturday for Independent Bookstore Day, could you please pick up an extra? When I go to the Stephen King event in Pittsburgh, I want to give one to my friend that I'm staying with. Unfortunately, I'm going to be shuttling my kids between soccer practice, baseball practice, and a birthday party on Saturday (while my wife is visiting the same friend), so there's no way I'll get to the bookstore. So, if there's any way someone could buy another copy for me, I would be extremely grateful.

[somekindofstranger]

...and if anyone was kind enough to help a UK fan get a copy, that would be much appreciated too!! :-)

[mkberger]

I have an extra copy of the Gaiman coloring book BUT: it has some damage along the back open edge--about 1.25" torn and with a good bit of the edge chipped away, about .25" deep. Didn't notice it at the store, don't plan to return it; if anyone is interested at my cost (about $20 including the tax and shipping to US), please drop a PM.

If you are not in the US, FYI that the weight of the book boxed is 15oz. Glad to ship it overseas, but please contact me to discuss the shipping amount.

Neil will be making an appearance in London on May 31st at the Union Chapel


info/tickets here: http://www.musicglue.com/union-chapel/events/31-may-16-an-evening-with-neil-gaiman--audrey-niffenegger-union-chapel/

To celebrate the publication of Neil Gaiman’s collection of non-fiction, The View from the Cheap Seats, the award-winning author will be joined by Audrey Niffenegger, bestselling author of The Time Traveller’s Wife, at a rare public event in London. The Union Chapel, Islington, will play host to these two literary heavy-weights, as they discuss Gaiman’s latest work, lauded by Stephen Fry as ‘magnificent’, amongst a myriad of other topics sure to delight fans – with a couple of surprises also in store…

Tickets are £20 each, and include a free signed copy of The View from the Cheap Seats for every ticket-holder, which they will receive on the night courtesy of Waterstones. The event will be live-streamed across the globe, via YouTube, Facebook and Twitter, so fans who are unable to attend can also enjoy this special, one-off event. Furthermore, Gaiman and Niffenegger will be answering audience questions, both from within the chapel and from those viewers at home or in bookshops tuning in. Anyone not present at Union Chapel will have the opportunity to submit their own questions via Twitter ahead of the event using the hashtag #CheapSeats.

I do have an extra copy of s/l Anansi boys in slip case for $125 (including shipping in US) - PM if interested.

Does not include the notebook. Fine, unread condition. This one is not numbered (and not labeled as PC, etc.) - which is true with many of these - since this was the volume that helped lead to the collapse of Hill House

Thanks very much for that! Was hoping there would be pre-signed copies. Wonder what the "embossed" is about...?: "The following bookstores will have limited quantities of signed and embossed first editions of The View from the Cheap Seats available for purchase starting May 31"

[ELazansky]

I saw a picture on Twitter of the presigned View From the Cheap Seats. It looks exactly like the same generic one that was in The Fireman. I wish they looked more like the ones done in the past for American Gods and Anansi Boys. At least they felt a little more unique. This "Plain Jane" version is very disappointing.

[somekindofstranger]

I was at The Union Chapel event in London last night.
The books we received were simply flatsigned UK 1st editions, which is what I expected (Neil later tweeted a picture of him signing them backstage beforehand).

Happy to have one though!

I agree. Just as easy to print something related, art-wise, on those sheets. Any ideas about what the "embossed" was refering to..?

That I don't know about yet. Not sure if it something different than the picture I saw. I'm hesitant to order one if it is just that simple signed page.

[ckovacs]

The embossing reads "The View from the Cheap Seats Signed First Edition." It doesn't show up on scans because it's an embossing of the paper.

Embossing is an impression. Like a seal that is stamped into the paper. The paper warps and retains the impression.

I have no idea what they intend though.
