I just emailed the seller asking for a picture of that mysterious back flap that's supposed to have a mistake. We'll see what the heck he's talking about.

i did the same thing and asked for a pic of the copyright page. and i'm wondering about the "library quality covered". if that just means there's one of those protective sheaths on it, or if, in fact, it is a library book.
tricksy people these ebay sellers, very tricksy.
oh, and i'm bidding on the other item.
ETA: i have to be careful or my husband won't let me come play with you guys anymore!

Don't tell your husband. Take it from me (41+ years married!), we often don't want to know!

Dont know where to post it...
I was reading Joe Hill texts on his website the part in which he makes some autoprom, about the articles that will soon be published.
I remember that Bob (i think) did post a pix of an ARC of the upcomming anthology LIVING DEAD... for completist, or for information purpose only, the anthology POE'S CHILDREN, edited by Peter Straub will also include Joe Hill & King (with the ballad of the flexible bullet). Due to october, according to Joe.

Put in your bid about 25 percent lower than you would actually be willing to pay....then never look at the auction again until you get the email saying you won or lost. That way it doesn't matter if somebody bids you up, because it only rises to what your last minute bid would have been anyway.
I haven't paid remotely close to market value for any book I own, with the exception of a couple matched numbers I basically had to overpay for...but my sales of bargain purchases have always offset those. I haven't been in a real bidding war in a loooong time...madness lies that way...haha...
