My newest Gaiman addition - Dark Detectives (S/L 100 Copies)
Congrats!!! A very nice addition, and very stunning visual presentation.
RE: Dark Detectives: Nice! That's one of my favorite books (I just have the trade), both in form and content. A GREAT collection of stories (Kim Neman's "Seven Stars" cycle is great fun), and just a beautifully designed and illustrated package. Same for F & B's "Innsmouth" books (a new one coming in the fall!). SO glad they are back on track and publishing again. Now that Arkham House (and Golden Gryphon as well) seem to be dormant- F & B fill that particular vibe just fine.

I thought maybe someone might be interested in this I noticed it a few minutes ago.
Neil Gaiman - The Rhyme Maidens - Folio edition of only 50 worldwide - mint
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Neil-Gaiman-...item2ec6b44bcf
Shameless plug for simon - he has one as well - a bit less right now
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-Neil-Ga...item1c3098b391
I already have one of the regular sheets - no need for the big expensive folio edition for me - I was much happier to spend less and get the other two biting dog press gaiman books
thanks chad
If anyone here wants it I will sell it for $300 gift.
Those are nice. I have no copies of any of the editions, but the price range of the folios is just a bit high for me. Good luck with the sale, they look great!
Eric, congrats the DARK DETECTIVES. I have that S/L as well, I really like the presentation a lot.

Bookmint is selling 5 of the rhyme maidens - only $55 each - pretty darn cheap (original sale price was $85)

Some new Gaiman signed goodies - none of these are his books, but they are limiteds signed by him:
Nameless Sins (500 copies - possibly the worst Gaiman signature I've ever seen):
Spares (500 copies)
The Eye of the Tyger (unnumbered)
Very nice acquisitions!! Congrats!!
My fellow Gaiman collectors:
I am trying to put together a listing of Gaiman signed/limited editions. The list below is made of mostly of books I own, along with others that I am aware of. These are the qualifiers for the list
1) I am not listing numbered and lettered editions separate. I don't collect lettered editions.
2) I am not listing signed comics, prints, posters, broadsides, CD's, etc. Only interested in actual books.
If anyone has anything to add to this list, or if you see anything I have listed in error, please let me know. Don't reply to the post so the list won't keep showing up numerous times. Just post your reply and I will update the list accordingly. Thanks!

Thanks, Chad. $30 below original publisher's price and including Priority Shipping? I bought one!
Eric, nice additions to your Gaiman sig collection. I've never even heard of those books.
Eric, great list. Thanks for putting that together.

Eric - great books and list. It looks pretty complete (although its late and I'm tired). I'll take another look tomorrow - but I can't think to add. Are we counting upcoming books?
Sub press will have s/l of smoke and mirrors - 2013?- 500
CD also will have an anthology called smoke and mirrors (I know pretty original) - with gaiman and hill, etc. - 2013?-400
Sub press - impossible monsters - July 2013 - 250 (sold out on their site)
Ps publishing - keep out the night - 2007 - 100 s/l slipcased - not sure if it was just signed by jones or all contributors - there was a 500 limited run signed by jones - so I assume the 100 run was signed by all - ill ask kim at camelot about that.
Keep out the night was 2002 - and the 100 copy s/l - signed by all
Looks like the uk graveyard book had a run of 1500
http://www.ebay.com/itm/DUAL-SIGNED-...item589cc5eb6c
I added Keep Out the Night and updated the run for The Graveyard Book.
I didn't want to add the "to be published" books until they were actually released. For 2013 so far, we have scheduled:
Impossible Monsters Sub Press 2013 250
The Ocean at the End of the Lane (Trade w/Sig Page) William Morrow 2013 ???
The Ocean at the End of the Lane (Deluxe Signed) William Morrow 2013 2000
We may also have in 2013:
Smoke and Mirrors Cemetery Dance 2013 400
And sometime this decade...
Smoke and Mirrors Sub Press 2013? 500
Would it be easier to re-sort the list by year instead of by title?
I think I like by year a little better - easier to see the progression
I changed the list to chronological
Here is More Tales From the Forbidden Planet - the story is that there were three signature sheets, but one set of the sheets got lost in the mail. So the two remaining sheets were included with the book, but they were not bound into the book.
Beautiful Book! It is amazing we have so much technology to watch, track, locate, deliver, but things still just get lost with no explanation.
Very nice - so who's signatures are missing then? Just curious.
"Two signed slips - signed by the authors and illustrators of each story and Roz Kaveney. The signed authors are Steve Yeowell, Larry Niven, Dave Langford, John Clute, Mary Gentle, Ian Watson, Mick Farren, Jamie Delano, R. M. Lamming, Neil Gaiman. Other stories are by Terry Pratchett, Rachel Pollack, Colin Greenland,John Sladek and Anne Nocenti. (Their signatures were lost)."
Shame that they lost pratchett's sig
