Your New Pride and Joy!

Yeah none of them are signed to Whoopi Goldberg or anything :p But I am pleased with the purchase. A great way to start of a collection anyway! We'll see how long the thrill of first editions last before I get into the richer signed copies & such!!

Hey, that was a great purchase for that price. You certainly have some books that I don't own.

Congrats, Dave, John and David.

One question: Why did Whoopi get rid of her personalized, signed and doodled book? Sold it because she was short on pocket change? Thought it would be a good way to insult the author? Not enough space in her mansions to store it? Just wondering.

Patrick-

In these cases, I always ask myself the same question, but there is rarely an answer that makes sense. Why, for instance, does Bob own the amazingly lovely inscribed Stand (I think it's The Stand) to King's daughter? Why would she give something like that up? There are other examples, but it all comes down to why would they do that?

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

Celebrities are bombarded with requests from 'charities' on a daily basis to give them a 'personal item' that they can auction. That's why so many personal items end up on the open market.

[Ves'Ka Gan]

Let's not forget the fact that some people who work for these celebrities aren't the nicest most trustworthy people. I am sure that some of these things that end up on the open market come from angry former assistants, hair dressers, maids, etc. who picked it up and slipped it in their bag on their last day.

And Patrick, you're getting Whoopi and Oprah confused!

I agree that I think they hit a charity first then the open market...if SK's daughter wanted every book personalized a hundred times, she could do it, so I bet she got that book specifically for a charity or some other function.

It makes more sense to me that a family member might give it away...to her, it's just words on a page, since she sees and talks to her father whenever she wants...an inscribed book to her is a dime-a-dozen.

Whoopi and Barker is a little weirder...who knows what the relationship was...it could have been an agent saying "send this book to Whoopi so she'll read this script." Who knows...

It is THE STAND that I have inscribed by King to Naomi. I've got a similar copy of 'SALEM'S LOT, also with a lengthy inscription to Naomi. According to the bookseller who bought these and had them in his collection for a few years, these were Naomi's personal copies. She gave them to a friend in need of money, knowing that they would be sold.

So a logical explanation in this particular case! Thanks Bob!

The book itself is fine, the jacket I'd say about VG due to the normal sunning to the spine and edges. All in all I'm happy with it, as I got it for $65 post paid!

I got very lucky, a seller on ebay didn't post pictures to the auction, but was willing to take some and email them to me when I inquired.

They don't come up often so I'm not sure what market value really is - similar copies to this on ABE are listed at $150 - $250+ but in today's market I'm willing to bet you can easily get a NF/VG copy for >$100.

That is a hard book to find in that kind of condition. I love the jacket. If memory serves me well it was done by Lee Brown Coye.

Coye gave inspiration to many editors and writers that we love today.

Again, nice book.
