Thanks John, appreciate your comment. I'm actually in the middle of reading it finally.Good luck, I hope you get that signed UTD, Paul. I love that book, and it took me until January to get a signed copy from Matt (Lot Guy)!
Nope. Too shaky....

Looks to be signed in slow motion. They messed up a nice copy.
I don't think so...

This is a warning for prospective and past buyers of CD's unbound proofs from ebay.
I was the highest bidder of an auction for The Dark Man Unbound earlier in the month from UK seller ashkent7. What arrived was not what was pictured in the auction photographs. This was obviously a scanned and copy of the original.
The differences of the copy were as follows:
1). All the CD unbound proofs should be all the same size (as confirmed by John Hanic and Brian @ CD), they should be printed on 8 1/2" x 11 sized paper. This is the only sized paper CD are using in their office. The unbound copy that arrived was A4 sized ( 8 1/4" x 11 2/3").
2). The printing quality was inferior compared to the CD versions with transfer of wet ink from opposing pages and there was leaching of ink through the paper.
3). The drawings of the copy were not central to the page as with the proper CD proof due to the differing size of paper. The right hand side margin was disproportionally wider as a result.
These are some photos of the copy
I know of at least one other member than myself that has bought a copy of The Dark Man unbound proof from this seller as a second chance offer (due to my apparent non-payment!)
So if anybody else has purchased one from this seller check it very carefully.
I just hope that this unpleasant occurrence does not discourage Brian and the rest of the team at CD from offering them in the future, as I enjoy owning my other copies and really find them interesting. I don't know if future copies could be marked with marker with a unique number similar to the Secretary of Dreams bound proofs on the page edges?
I will also be posting this in the eBay bullshit and my Collection threads for maximum coverage!
I agree with you, Tommy. That one is no good.
Thanks for the warning. The buyer usually has quite a bit of protection on eBay with stuff like this. Are you going to try to return it?

Experts,
Is this any good? Almost looks too "flamboyant" to me.
No bueno

This Australian seller just posted bunch of signed books starting at $1 with no reserve. I suspect they are good, but I'm not expert...

"And shipping will be 35 standard not 6.00".....
I'm not a fan of any of those....
I agree. Stay away from all of them. The first one I clicked on was Song of Susannah and I thought at first glance that it might be OK. But I think all the rest are bad so it must be bad too. I vote "no" on all of them.
Something just feels wrong about all of them.

You know it's questionable when a 1983 signature looks exactly the same as a 1994 signature.
All 20 books look bogus to me.
I like this quote:
"DUST JACKET DON'T MAKE THE BOOK THE BOOK IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE WITH FIRST EDITION/FIRST PRINT.."
The Stand by Stephen King (1978, Hardcover) FIRST EDITION FIRST PRINT BUYYYYYY!
Exactly, Rick. Photos are fuzzy enough and the whole thing just doesn't sit well.
