If you have the old dust jacket, this is what I do, I put the mylar on the old DJ first. It makes a mold for the new one. Take the old dust jacket out and put the new one inside the mylar and...
Here is the letter:

I'm sure everyone knows about the errata slip for the Grant gift edition of Desperation. However, the error wasn't discovered until after several hundred copies of the book were sent out. For those...
I emailed Mr. Wiener. If he responds with anything other than "take a long walk off a short pier", I'll let you know.
Let's be clear here: there absolutely were shady goings at Grant. Specifically, a former employee took money from Grant's customers, sent them items that were not intended for sale, and then kept the...
I had a very bad experience with Grant Books in the past, wherein an employee of the company took money for items which were actually not intended for sale. The employee kept the money for...
I think it would be foolish to spend money on any S/L today in hopes of selling it for a profit in the future. In the long run, I think your best bet would be sticking with the early Doubleday books....
I believe PS published trade editions in 2010. They then re-printed the Miller and Chadbourne trade issues. The note on the PS website says:

Thanks a lot Robert. I have a question for you when you say the Grant Limiteds of 1-4 do you mean 1st's? kris[/QUOTE]Yes, I mean the Grant trade editions, which are also limited (to really high...
In my opinion, the Grant limited (but not signed) editions of books 1 through 4 make a complete set with the "Artist Editions" of books 5 through 8. The Scribner/Grant editions of books 5 through 8...
Nuts to that.
Sharki69, meet the catalog. You two should be friends now.

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is a fantastic book; definitely the best murder mystery I've ever read.
Who knows why we focus on the things we do? We've decided that the first three states of the dust jacket matter, and the later ones don't. We (really just people on this forum, I think) decided that...
I would just assume it's a jacket that was used a year or two later. At some point, they raised the price from $7.95 to $8.95 (and then to $14.95 and $24.95, or whatever the price would be now.)
I've got this one. The catalog(ue) is your friend: http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showwiki.php?title=Centurys+Best+Horror+Fiction+The+-+Artist+Edition
Reading about the portfolio makes me sad, because we all had a whole bunch of chances to buy it at half price.
