Valid suggestions that merit deep consideration.
Being PSYCHO about the works of Robert Bloch, I could not resist this.
Description from the seller:
Spoiler:
I've included a couple of amusing sample pages:

The 125 copy signed edition and trade paperback. Unfortunately, Messrs. Verne and Farmer were unable to sign, as both were currently occupied in doings involving the space/time continuum and could not be reached.

I now have 6 lettered King books, not counting THE COLORADO KID numbered of 33, and two PC lettered editions.
I don't think this one will fit on this particular shelf though:

BIG CONGRATS !! 03-22-2024 09:39 AMur2ndbiggestfanThanks Frank!
I see that No Reply Press was mentioned in the Suntup thread. As a coincidence I just received four books from them today, two copies each of THE MEN RETURN by Jack Vance and THE LAST QUESTION by Isaac Asimov. I didn't WANT two copies of each but I mis-read their site and thought there were two hardcover states of each. Not true. There is a hardcover and a paperbound state of each, of 350 copies each, for a total of 700 copies.

Every one is signed by Bloch to 'Ingrid', obviously a high-priestess of the blackest arts:

I also couldn't resist this; 17 Robert Bloch letters and post cards, from 1990 to 1993, some of them discussing his autobiography and the anthology he edited, ROBERT BLOCH'S PSYCHOPATHS.

https://i.imgur.com/48YdilI.jpeg 03-31-2024 06:18 AMur2ndbiggestfanFound this set of HCC Michael Crichton books on Mercari, all in as new, unread condition, for a very reasonable price.
They are not numbered in the usual HCC fashion, which is HCC-XX, but HCC-MC1 to HCC-MC8, and are not, according to Mr. Ardai himself, incorporated into the main numbering scheme, and neither are the books numbered S0-XX, which are 'specials'. He also informed me that there is a gap between HCC-069 and HCC-101 in which only two books were numbered and published by Sub Press, HCC-069 and HCC-070, due to their previous publisher going out of business. I knew none of this, although others here may have.

I immediately searched high and low until I found one too! (it's number is also a state secret)

Also saw a copy, 1st printing and 1st binding of THE TIME MACHINE by H.G. Wells, which I was even able to touch and found quite astonishing.
