i did the same thing and asked for a pic of the copyright page. and i'm wondering about the "library quality covered". if that just means there's one of those protective sheaths on it, or if, in fact, it is a library book. :unsure:
tricksy people these ebay sellers, very tricksy.
oh, and i'm bidding on the other item. :D
ETA: i have to be careful or my husband won't let me come play with you guys anymore! :lol:
Don't tell your husband. Take it from me (41+ years married!), we often don't want to know!
John
:lol:
:unsure:
:lol:

ETA: okay, which one of youfucksdear friends of mine kept outbidding me for the goddamned creepshow/silverbullet? :lol:
Oh, Turtlesong . . . I think this may be calling your name . . . Signed Rose Madder

ETA: i asked the seller to either post or email me a clearer pic of the copyright page. and gretchen thanks! (but are you trying to lure me in with signed rose madder's instead of chocolates? are you working with brice? :lol: )

oh god. what to do, what to do. :panic:
Buy the signed book, then go buy an unsigned one for cheaper. Switch dustjackets. Then you'll have your signed collection copy in a good DJ and a nice reading copy with a slight tear in the DJ.Quote:

Dont know where to post it...
I was reading Joe Hill texts on his website the part in which he makes some autoprom, about the articles that will soon be published.
I remember that Bob (i think) did post a pix of an ARC of the upcomming anthology LIVING DEAD... for completist, or for information purpose only, the anthology POE'S CHILDREN, edited by Peter Straub will also include Joe Hill & King (with the ballad of the flexible bullet). Due to october, according to Joe.

Put in your bid about 25 percent lower than you would actually be willing to pay....then never look at the auction again until you get the email saying you won or lost. That way it doesn't matter if somebody bids you up, because it only rises to what your last minute bid would have been anyway.Quote:
