As Mr. Rabbit Trick said, if at all possible, keep them both. Otherwise, I'd keep the inscribed one also.

Keep one, give the other to me

**Fsmdr** · 08-02-2008 08:53 AM

I would also keep the inscribed copy.

Thank you for the link to the article Bob. While I agree "the more words on your autographed items, the better", I also agree with Mr. Rabbit Trick and "do not like books inscribed to someone else".

I appreciate all your comments. In truth, I was hoping you would tell me to keep the signed copy and sell the inscribed copy. Now, I may just have to keep both (sorry Karen).

I got a heck of a deal on it ($86 shipped), but it is really not about the money. I now own three copies of this large book (the two above and one reading copy) and am running out of space fast. My wife may actually kill me if another box shows up on our doorstep!

I tend to agree with you Tippy4 I do not own any books inscribed to someone else, just my thing, I understand the reasons for keeping the inscribed but it would just bug me.

I do not mind books inscribed to someone else, especially if the inscription has some length to it, providing me reassurance that it was indeed written by King. I'm in the keep the inscribed copy camp.

**Brice** · 08-04-2008 03:43 AM

I'd keep both. I'd also keep getting more books. Buy the wife presents so she'll overlook all the packages coming in for yourself.

carlos : WOW!

That's the one thing, many collectors find that signatures with an inscription and/or date is harder to forge. And the situation seems more likely that it would have been signed by the author at a book signing, since it's addressed to someone.

Sure anything could be forged, but I find I am more confident in my signature if it's been inscribed.

Two new additions I'm excited about:

Signed copy of Slade's newest book (inscribed to myself).

And a copy of Porcupine Tree latest re release on vinyl "Lightbulb Sun" - 1 of 1000 pressed on coloured vinyl!

Very nice, Eric.

**jhanic** · 08-12-2008 06:45 AM

Dazzling. Congratulations. Have you tried it on yet?

Bling: flashy jewelry worn especially as an indication of wealth; broadly : expensive and ostentatious possessions

**Fsmdr** · 08-12-2008 07:07 AM

Absolutely!.

It looks wonderful on my shelf. It's a lot more flashy than I though it would look. Like an oversized jewellery.

**Pasiuk57** · 08-12-2008 10:08 AM

I think it's amazing Stu has had two copies in the last couple of weeks to sell!

**shnnrc01** · 08-12-2008 12:08 PM

got the UK Just After Sunset sampler ARC. the 4 stories are: 1) willa 2) gingerbread girl 3) mute 4) ayana. also after each story king gives a cool synopsis of how he came about each short. got a few publisher press pages also describing the upcoming release/details of the book.

**tippy4** · 08-12-2008 12:37 PM

Juliana...I think I speak for everyone here in that we all hate you!

Seriously though, wonderful puchase.

I have come to terms with the fact that I will never own one.

**Randall Flagg** · 08-12-2008 02:20 PM

Juliana, congratulations. I would also presume you bought at a price equal to or less than what the book was selling for a decade+ ago.

My copy should be here before the end of the week. I can't wait!

**The Lady of Shadows** · 08-12-2008 03:39 PM

it's a conspiracy. . .that must be the explanation.
