I just wanted to say I have learned my lesson I will NEVER buy a remarqued book from anyone other than the artist direct (no CD sold remarques). When I had the issue with the McVey remarque from CD I took the 75.00 credit Mindy gave me to buy the Glenn Chadbourne remarqued SOD I and II. Received the remarqued SOD I a week ago and it was a 1/4 page drawing, nice but nothing like every other remarque I have seen from Glenn Chadbourne (including the fantastic remarques from Glenn on the previous page), then today I got the copy of Blockade Billy remarqued by Glenn Chadbourne and another small drawing (shoe with spikes). Again I am not complaining about the artists drawings but I am no longer going to get screwed by the middleman.
I'd like to respectfully disagree on the point of buying through a secondary seller. True, it is hard to judge from buying a remarque 'blind' without seeing the work first, in the case like CD. Sometimes, things fall far from your expectations. Even buying direct from the artist, I usually ask on the approximate size, if it is in color, etc. My opinion is if you can see ahead of time the remarque itself, you already know what you will get. Just my 2 cents.
This wouldn't be because you were the secondary seller would it Juliana?
Seriously though, what you AND tippy have provided is something that has been rare, and that something being an advance look at the remarque prior to the opening of the original sale. Then again, you two were and are dealing with much higher price points than the others I have seen in the past few years too. Believe me, the difference is MUCH appreciated.
Margaret Emmie Mackey Catoe, you are, have been, and always will be my soulmate, and I love you.
Con todo mi corazon, por todo de mis dias. And I always will, in this life and into the next.

Like Sam says what you and Tippy did was different, we saw the remarque before we bought, the ones from CD what I got was different than all the other remarques I have seen from Glenn and I suspect it was because the artist received much less of the money from me than CD did. Thats why I will contact the artist directly rather than going through CD.I'd like to respectfully disagree on the point of buying through a secondary seller.

BTW while I have just a few remarques in books I have probably 75 drawings commissioned from artists through conventions and ebay and other means of contact (including 2 from Glenn). I have been disappointed maybe a couple of times I really am not as picky as my complaints have sounded, I just seem to have bad luck with CD I guess.
Yeah, I guess you guys are right. A full page color remarques are no comparison.
Not King related, but talk about a valuable remarque!.

I much prefer the remarques I have seen by Dameron and Maitz.
Need to join to see the pic. Can one post it (or the link) please? :-)

Here is the photo of the Rackham remarque. It sold for close to $11K. Rackham (1867-1939) is very much sough after as a children's book illustrator. His reprinted books are very collectible and a original drawing by him are quite rare.
First edition, limited to 520 copies and signed by Arthur Rackham on the limitation page. Quarto. 318 pages. Sixteen color plates mounted on cream paper with captioned tissue guards. This copy has a charming original signed drawing by Rackham on the recto of half-title page. Rackham has executed an ink and watercolor caricature of himself in traditional Irish dress, with a clay pipe and shillelagh, conversing with an enrapt crow.
Publisher's quarter vellum with white paper boards. Gilt titles and decoration. Wrapped in double glassine dust jacket. Hinges slightly cracked. Toning to endpapers. Housed in a custom quarter green morocco drop front clamshell box. A near fine copy. From the Estate of John McLaughlin.
thanks! Quite nice !
