    Default Ludlum - Bourne Ultimatum

    I think my last post got deleted, perhaps it was in the wrong area? If you're going to delete this one can you let me know why, admins?

    Anyways, what my original post was in regards to was the Signed/Limited/Numbered first edition of "The Bourne Ultimatum" by Robert Ludlum. I haven't seen any offered or sold anywhere on the net, and I was wondering if anyone knew the approximate value of this book?

    I believe your first post on this subject was deleted accidentally. Our apologies for that.


    You might try ABE Books and sort by highest price first. Good luck!

    E Taylor.
    Two apologies from me. I accidently deleted (and could not retrieve) your post, and failed to contact you to ask you to repost. I had hoped that a backup on the server could retrieve it, but it appears the backup is for the entire site, and we can't just pick one post out of it.
    I checked ABE, and at this time see no listing for a S/L of TBU. A 1st edition trade certainly is pricey @$400, although sometimes prices on ABE are high.
    Hopefully someone else here is more familiar with the value and will assist.

    Yah, all I've ever been able to find even a listing of its existence online, I was hoping when the movie was released one might be offered for sale, but if one was, I didn't see it.

    I did find 3 different titles of signed leatherbound presentation copies from Random House that are $600 each.

    Default Other authors you collect

    I'm curious what additional authors other members collect. A special focus, such as Bob's Dracula collection, also counts.

    I really only buy a couple of limited books a year, so my collection is small, but growing.
    I've slowly been adding a few Bradbury S/Ls to my collection(I think I have 5 now) and also have several from Anne Rice. I also have a Vonnegut and a few signed books from various authors that aren't very well known.
    I'm not really focused on King like the majority of the board. My main interest is the Tower series, beyond that, I just collect authors that I like without worrying about what they'll be worth in 5 or 10 years.

    I collect quite a few small press publishers.

    Richard Laymon (20-25 items, 15+ signatures, several S/L's)
    Ray Garton (12 or more items, 6 signatures, all S/L's)
    Steve Gerlach (4 S/L's)
    Mike Arnzen (12 or more items, all signed)
    Joe Hill (Most of his stuff, only 2 S/L's)

    Other odds and ends--I've got some (outdated) pics in my collection threads.

    I don't actually collect other authors but I do try to get a book signed of every author I like.
    I have books signed by Koontz, Jack Vance, Richard Matheson, Arturo Perez-Reverte, Orson Scott Card, Joe Hill and others. The first one I had was one from John Saul.
    I'm still missing some: Arthur Conan Doyle, Alexandré Dumas, Edgar Allan Poe (tought guys these ones... ). I'm still looking for a Dan Simmons signed book.
    Wanted list:

    Other than King and Hill, I collect the S/Ls of Koontz's Odd Thomas books. My other signed books are just a random mix from authors I like

    Yep, King is the author I collect the most, but it's also because he has the most stuff out there.

    After King I try to collect everything by Ray Bradbury, Neil Gaiman and Charles de Lint. I have pretty large collections by all three, and love their work.

    I would say I'm an avid collector of King, Gaiman, de Lint and Bradbury, and would consider that I have pretty impressive collections by all authors (although my King collection gets stomped by some here, lol).

    And then on a smaller scale I collect Dan Simmons, F. Paul Wilson, Brian Lumley, H. P. Lovecraft and Joe Lansdale. But these collections pale in comparison to the other 4 authors.

    I showed my Bradbury and Gaiman collections on the Dark Tower.net a year ago. I'll try to come up with pictures, again.

    I'd love to see your Gaiman collection!

    Unfortunately, I don't have any signed or limited edition King books, but I do have a few signed (and one personalized) Chuck Palahniuk 1st editions from meeting him at a signing. Also, I have a couple John Douglas books from meeting him at various signings (he's a former FBI serial killer profiler who has written several books on his career).

    That's the closest I have to a worthwhile book collection.

    I know the new Odd Thomas book is being offered in an S/L, but I'm wondering if anyone is going to a Koontz signing any time soon. I'd like to get a personalized signed 1st/1st of the trade edition of ODD HOURS.

    I don't think he is doing any formal signings for the book. I ordered a signed/dated copy from Book Carnival a couple of weeks ago. They said he was just doing as many as were ordered at his home and there were no plans for an event. If I recall correctly they were not honoring requests for personalization.

    I should qualify the above statement by saying that I don't keep up with Koontz's comings and goings and he may very well have some formal signings scheduled but the way the Book Carnival website read I got the feeling that he didn't.

    Dan Simmons has been mentioned quite often on this site and DT.N. I'll have to check his work out sometime. Any suggestions?

    I'll have to take some new photos soon and get them posted.

    Aurora, I have a lot of Frank Herbert paperbacks, but haven't had a chance to read most of them yet. I read his Dune novels a couple of years ago and that was all I've had. Then I went to the local library sale last fall and picked up about eight of his other books.

    Then, read The Terror. Excellent story, IMO.
