IMO, there are first appearances, such as magazine publications and first editions, which would be first publications in a book format. Regardless what country it was printed in, if was printed in a...

Yeah, 2001 is published in omnibus edition with several other Clarke novels, but never all 4 Odyssey books together.

I couldn't say for sure but the various books had various publishers, so it...

The purple topstain copies also state "first edition" and don't mention later printings - don't think dealer would state them as later print. It's probably the hardest to find edition. That and...

Thanks. I wonder if someone asks the author about this at the signing. It took me years to find one copy for my collection.

I have never heard any figures. I think it is agreed that the purple...

Does anyone know how many copies of the 1985 Vampire Lestat first edition were pubished with purple topstain?

Anyone has a "PC" copy of Cronin's Twelve for sale?

checked my copy - looks like 12/1988. Don't know how many #1 copies are still in existence.

I get that some people sell parts of their collections over time, and I am glad that Jill is getting some visibility, but I don't get the point of asking an artist to remarque your book and then just...

I have first edition of Shining and Roger Zelazny 1st edition book published in 1973 with the same stamps.

Does this need to be added to CD discussion thread?

That's not even a "personally I believe" situation, it is undoubtedly sufficient. Writing in the book as an addition to that is just dumb.

It's like writing "Facsimile check signed by King as...

Thanks! I had not seen the Rick Berry illustrated book. I knew it was coming but didn't know when. But wow! It is $276! Says it is not shipping until 6/30.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, that's why I haven't...

Why destroy the book? That makes no sense. Certainly strike out the limitation, but this is a bit of an overreaction.
Burn an original Van Gogh? Just because some asshole (and it's documented) tried...

How many King's S/L books came out from 74-2004 and how many in the last 10 years? Says it all.

What would be the value of such an expensive book if it had some flaw, even if insignificant, for exampe slightly creased or bumped corner or something like that? If I paid $5k for a book, I would...
