A 2nd printing is a nice reading copy.
The Chadbourne remarque value would vary depending on the drawing.
I would suggest a value of $50.
That said I would not buy it.

A Reading copy can be found on BOOKFINDER for $1.10
Thanks, Josh! Seller and I agreed on $150. I doubt there's any real value in Rich's sig as well and wouldn't have been a deal breaker for me.I sold the book and coin no case or Sig for $120. I would say 150 to 160 maybe?

What is the value of a signed BCE Night Shift in NF condition?
Only value is in the signature. Depending on the age of the sig it can go up or down.
Yeah, being a BCE, that’s what I figured. Thanks!Only value is in the signature. Depending on the age of the sig it can go up or down.
What do you folks think the current value might be for the signed/numbered/ traycased/ massive edition of Knowing Darkness?
The last copy on my eBay/Amazon spreadsheet sold for $800 in 2016, which was definitely on the low end. Hyraxia currently has a copy for 1000 GBP (~$1400) and there are two sellers in the US who are asking $1500, so it is obtainable right now.
I would say realistic market value is ~$1000-1200. It probably should have appreciated more in the last 9 years but it is a really, really big art book (as you know) and I think has a smaller audience than a novel or a portfolio.

Keep forgetting gotta figure out a way to read this without harming the spine. Was lucky to get the last copy from George Beahm on ebay about 3 years ago. Think I got for $400 or so, including the custom slipcase (for the traycase). Glad to see it is appreciating.

You must be the eBay buyer from Feb 2015! That was a great price, given that it included the custom acrylic slipcase. Do you happen to have a picture of it?
There were "trade" editions available up through the end of 2015 for as little as $100.
As far as I can tell, by the very end of 2015 the final copies from George Beahm and Centipede Press finally sold out, and the price for both the trade and S/L took a big jump in20162017, with some decent appreciation since.
On a side note, I have never seen one of the deluxe versions (of which I think there were ~25 and that retailed for ~$4-5k), and would love to see it if someone here has a copy!
Be aware that some "dinged" copies of the trade edition were available at one point for around $100. So if shopping for a trade edition, double check the condition!

Just because someone has something for sale at a certain price, that does not make it worth that price.

I agree. I bought my Knowing for $300 + shipping. To me it is a beaut of a book... but I would not pay even $300 again for one.

If it makes a difference, the slipcased “trade” version is pretty hot right now. There have been 5 eBay sales and a number of Amazon sales in 2018 alone, with prices between $300-400.
WOW! For real?

Thanks for the input everyone. Appreciate it! I'm actually considering selling mine as it's just too massive to even look at and it's not something I need. I can't decide so was trying to gauge whether or not it would even be worth selling as shipping will likely not be an easy thing. I reached out to David as well for his thoughts on the matter.
Yea, it made a pretty sudden jump after putzing around at $100-200 for a number of years (I got mine in 2014 for $100). I'm not exactly sure why... However, the number of sales has caused a flurry of new listings, so we'll see if it maintains. The last one sold was for $325 earlier this month. Amazon used to have a number of copies for around $300 but some sold and the others have been re-priced above $700 (which isn't gonna happen!).WOW! For real?
I bought both the slipcased and deluxe traycased editions from George. The slipcased came with extra prints and the deluxe came with an acrylic slipcase. I paid just under $500 for both.
I figured the price would rise when George stopped selling them. I hadn't realized it had risen quite so much though.

Bag and/or bubble wrap the book. Place in a large box full of peanuts. Place that box in even larger box full of peanuts. That is how they were shipped by George Beahm.

I love the acrylic slipcase I got from George! It was for the regular Knowing Darkness and was a prototype for the larger one, the only one he had made for the "smaller" book, LOL!
