It looks to be a nice copy. There is no magnification feature to the photos in this listing so you really can't look for the small defects. I've never bought anything from dna-books although he has listed a lot of stuff on eBay over the years. His auctions always seem to be priced too high and there is just something cheesy about them. I usually have the urge to go wash my hands after I read one of his listings.Originally Posted by Randall Flagg
Washing your hands is easy (you are a Doctor-hot soapy water up to the elbows, vigorous rubbing, sing "Happy Birthday" twice, air shake, an assistant "gloves" you), but how do you purge the mind? The "brain cache" if you will.
Drugs worked just fine for me in the 60's, 70's and 80's. But I've been in AA for over 20 years so my options are fairly limited these days.
Just checked my shelves and see mine is also Stamped Publishers Copy Number 19 of 350I have never seen a numbered PC before. Was this done to get the books back so they made them traceable?
Had forgotten that. Have heard previously of publisher holding the lower numbers for themselve or the author.
I have number 19 Publishers copy........ and now see also have 342 of 350 (not marked Publishe copy)I have #4 Publisher's CopyI have never seen a numbered PC before. Was this done to get the books back so they made them traceable?

As I understand it, the limitaion pages were numbered 1-350, additionally there were 55 Publishers Copies, each of which were numbered 1-55.I have number 19 Publishers copy........ and now see also have 342 of 350 (not marked Publishe copy)I have #4 Publisher's CopyI have never seen a numbered PC before. Was this done to get the books back so they made them traceable?
It is a beautiful production, but it really was a clusterfuck as far as signature pages. It essentially preceded the 'net as we know it today, otherwise Underwood-Miller would be crushed here, and everywhere else online.

I don't collect proofs either, but I have some pretty rare ones.Then you are banned! You don't collect Publisher's Copies!I have #4 Publisher's CopyI have never seen a numbered PC before. Was this done to get the books back so they made them traceable?
I don't think I like that signature. Any others with thoughts on it?
I don't like it either. It doesn't feel right .
This one should be in the ebay BS thread.I don't think I like that signature. Any others with thoughts on it?
Im on the fence. Seems to be consistent with recent rushed sloppy sigs. Cant see any hesitation or pauses. But I agree doesnt feel right.I don't think I like that signature. Any others with thoughts on it?
reality continues to ruin my life
On the fence myself too. Looks like it could be just another rushed in passing sig, but it feels off a bit. *shrug*
Christine
and what about the s not looping at the bottom. Oh I see how it is. When its my book no loop! no loop!!! but now we just shrug. Hmmmmm
Simon, for what it's worth, I thought your book was OK. I sign my name at least twenty times a day at work and if you showed me some of them in a week, I would think someone faked my sig for me because I forgot to sign some forms.
I never said it was not a legit signature all I was doing was pointing out the differences based on the images that are already here as reference. I would of done the same here, but I am cooking corned beef/drinking so I am thankful for spell check.
If Cujo had one of these... he'd never have been out chasing rabbits... and nobody would have died.

I had this auction bookmarked but it went higher than I wanted. Ex-library copy of 'SALEM'S LOT with a pretty nice second state dust jacket. I am guessing that, like me, the bidders were bidding on the dust jacket as the book itself was pretty much worthless. Pretty good price for the seller and someone got a nice dust jacket.
