The leather rebound, signed Best American Stories 2007 (1/100) editions that were released by Flatsigned? I've read a bit about Tim Miller and his dodgy practices at Flatsigned on some archived threads here, but wondering if this book is worth any more than a regular flat signed copy of the book? Does it even devalue it, given he's messed with the original first edition. I know it's not going to be valued anywhere near to an official S/L.
Cheers
It is a first paperback edition rebound in leather. He apparently had 126 made. 100 numbered and 26 lettered. There is no difference between the two.
$90 is a good price as long as the signature is good. There was some question about some of the signatures.
These aren't highly collectible, but those who have one say it's nice.
BTW a signed first goes for about $125-$150.

We must have a tutorial around here somewhere...
For English language books there is a historical divide of the publishing world between the UK and the US.
Generally the first edition in the country the author resides is most desirable.
That said... there are various editions in which a book might be published. The first printing of the first trade edition - 1st/1st is the one most of us collect. The first trade edition can be either a hardcover or softcover. There are also large print editions, various paperback and mass market editions, airport editions, Canadian editions, export editions, etc. etc...
A Signed Limited edition is generally (there's that word again) a better quality production that is signed by the author(s)/editor(s) and possibly others such as artists. Publishers generallyproduce a numbered Signed Limited edition and a lettered Signed limited edition.
Look through the "Catalog" (Wiki). Every King First Edition & Signed Limited is listed.
