Not really sure. The detailed description does say it's a first edition, first printing though.
I paid $60 awhile back and had zero problems paying that. I know that they routinely sell for less because there was a bunch of them BUT really really nice ones are rarer and rarer these days. I agree that we will see an increase in the value of them. Not sure if one would fetch over $100 now but I do expect those prices at some point. I had an equally hard time finding a nice Eyes of the Dragon.
I think the listing of THUS is a mistake. They list Viking 1984. VJ Books is a trustworthy company and I don't believe they would knowingly mislead a customer. I've always had great service from them.Not really sure. The detailed description does say it's a first edition, first printing though.
I've bought a lot from VJ and they are an excellent company, great quality books and customer service, but I've had two occasions where there were mistakes in the listing: I received two novels that were described as 1st impressions but were actually 2nd. VJ were excellent about it though, gave me a full refund and let me keep the books. Innocent mistake, but I'd email them and have them check the book first - They've always been very accommodating.I think the listing of THUS is a mistake. They list Viking 1984.

VJ Books and I are simply not meant to do business. I tried buying five books today but there seems to be a glitch in their checkout via Amazon option. My card has a US address, my American Amazon account is obviously tied to a US address, and I have a US street address. I still kept getting a quote for $80 dollars for five books. Whatever.
Funny - I had a problem trying to checkout via the Amazon option as well. Kept telling me I had to enter a valid shipping address, so I finally just gave up.
What is the Amazon option?
I'm offered PayPal, Credit card, check, but no Amazon option.

Hi guys,
Can someone help me with the value of the 4 U.K. first edition Bachman paperbacks (as a set it or individually? I assume the bulk of the value lies in Rage?)
Cheers

And condition will also have a lot to do with the value. Well-read copies with creases on the spine will not bring nearly as much as pristine, unread copies. What condition are yours in?Betts sold a set of 4...

"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
OK, try this: log out, add a book to the cart and then try checking out without an account. You should see an option to check out through your Amazon account. I wanted to use Amazon for added protection. Last time I received no refund, replacement or apology after receiving a damaged book.
I remember those at Betts. And I also remember receiving the dreaded response from David: "Missed out on that by around 30 minutes".And very nice they look on my shelf too!Betts sold a set of 4...

Hi All. Happy Holidays!
I would be grateful if anyone knows of the current values of DT III Wastelands proofs - the PLUME and the GRANT proofs in near fine / fine condition. Did the Grant edition come with an artwork set?
Many thanks
Jon
