Two different signed limited editions from PS Publishing of Lawrence Block's "Random Walk". On the left is a slipcased hardcover edition, signed by Block and Spider Robinson and limited to 200 copies. This book has a dust jacket. On the right is trade hardcover, signed only by Block and limited to 500 copies. This book doesn't have a dust jacket; the boards are printed to look just like the dust jacket of the slipcased edition. I wasn't aware of this difference, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the differences between the two editions extended beyond the lack of slipcase and one signature.

Leaning on them is a 1966 Fawcett Gold Medal paperback original (i.e., there was no hardcover release) of Lawrence Block's "The Thief Who Couldn't Sleep", the first book in his Evan Tanner series. It's not in perfect shape, but it was pretty cheap ($3; not as cheap as the $0.29 I just paid for the sixth book in the series.)

I got this on eBay a couple of weeks ago but am just now getting around to showing it off. The artist Alex McVey was selling his "PC" copy of BILLY BLOCKADE. The listing said that he would be glad to add a drawing in the book (actually he mistakenly referred to it as a remarque but that is another story altogether). He took a little longer than advertised in sending the book so I e-mailed him and said he was doing a "few extra" drawings in the book. When I got it I was very surprised and pleased that he did five drawings in the book including the front and back endpapers. Alex seems like a really nice guy and I enjoyed trading a few e-mails with him.

[idlewarnings]

I took a chance on a presale ebay auction for a signed book from the Sarasota event. Came in the mail today. Looks legit to me. Only bad thing is he shipped it in a *&$%#! padded envelope, so a couple of the corners and the ends are nice and banged up.

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/500/medium/112263signed.jpg

[AKC]

I don't think I've ever seen a King signature that has the "h" so pronounced.........I don't like the "S" either.

What was the Seller's ID on eBay?

Certainly not yet drawing the conclusion that the signature isn't authentic but I'd be interested in what a few of the other experts think.

I've reviewed 1000's of his sigs over the years and have been wrong on few.....

AKC

P.S. Can't believe he shipped it in an envelope.

[Randall Flagg]

Can you post a closer, straight on picture of the signature? It does look very odd from the pic you posted.

[carlosdetweiller]

I have concerns about the legitimacy of that signature. Serious concerns.

[AKC]

I have concerns about the legitimacy of that signature. Serious concerns.

I concur. The "Stephen" is simply too far off from what we have seen.

Even if he "rushed it", the S and H have NEVER looked like that.....

idelwarnings, in my honest opinion, I do believe it to be a forgery. :frown2:

Tim
AKC

P.S. BUT, AGAIN, I have incorrectly assessed a few over the years.....

[idlewarnings]

Here's a clearer pic of the sig. I agree it doesn't look exactly "traditional"...it looks rushed. The seller was globalgraphs89. He offered full money back if not satisfied.

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/500/sig5.jpg

Here are a couple of other signatures from the same event that have some of the same characteristics, including the loop on the h

[AKC]

Ralph! Hutch! Please weigh in!!!!

You know, Steve's sig has gotten "awful loose" over the course of the last year so a part of me wants to believe that this is just a tired, rushed signature at the end of a long night.....

1. That's a very nice book Jerome

2. Although my judgement of sigs is extremely lacking I've gotta say unfortunately that that one looks bad. I would return it.

[idlewarnings]

Ok, Guys, one last image. The top sig is from my S/L Scribner 11/22/63 that I received yesterday. The bottom signature is the one in question from the Sarasota signing. I think there are a lot of similarities. The K definitely looks odd in the bottom sig but there are a lot of similar other points in both.

Thanks for all the opinions. I appreciate it.

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/500/medium/photo-11.JPG

[Merlin1958]

I think you have to take into account his age and the fact that he is sitting there doing 6-850 signatures in a 4 hour window. I know from experience as a signatory that will take it's toll!!!!

[AKC]

Good comparison.....

Along with the obvious differences with the "K", check out the bottom left of the "S". Completely different treatments/position as to where the Sig starts (inside vs. outside).....BUT, one could argue that, upon reviewing other sigs from that night, the "S" looks similar.

I'm going cross-eyed.

Final verdict, in my honest opinion, is that it is a forgery and if a return is possible, that you exercise that option.

AKC

[carlosdetweiller]

I would not put that signature in my collection. I would always have doubts about it. There are plenty of other undoubtedly real signatures in that book currently for sale. I would return the one in question and buy one of the other ones.

I do acknowledge one thing. The first sig is compact whereas the second is more elongated and less detailed. That would give me pause!!!

[divemaster]

I think it is a legit King signature; however, it's one of the uglier ones out there. I say take the refund and try to get one King didn't rush so much.

[Rahfa]

Hmmm...not to be contrary, but not only do I think it's real, I don't see any problems at all in comparison to the legit S/L signature - which is one of the few (only?) times I've disagreed with Carlos, et. al. I actually think the S/L confirms it's real.

I think it looks basically identical, except for a few rushed signs from a signing. If anything, a forgery would look more controlled...that looks natural. Plus, he did give the wristband? So is he auctioning off other books?

I'm with Tippy and a couple others - I think it's real, no question. But - if you have ANY doubts, you should return it, because it will be annoying.

[Room 217 Caretaker]

I think Bev said somewhere above in this thread (speaking about Kings signature) "King is making it difficult for us". Those words are very true and the signature in question proves that point.

My opinion........Yes, it's real.

I had similar doubts after receiving the pre-signed book in Dallas. Ms. Mod assured me that all the signatures were original King signatures, not facsimilies and not someone else signing, that he just had a helluva LOT of books to sign, he's old, etc!

If that's of any help...

[jhanic]

Watch it when you say he's old! I'm older than he is! :P

John

[Shannon]

idle, I am not an expert by any means, but when you first posted the picture I immediately thought to myself "Oooooh, that sucks, he got a fake." But then you posted the side by side comparison and seeing that, I would bet my life on it being real. The same hand definitely wrote both of those signatures.

[WeDealInLead]

I wouldn't want it because it's so damn ugly, but to my very amateurish eye, there's no doubt that the same tired, rushed person signed both books. That 'p' is identical and there is no hesitation in the signature at all.

Yes, I noticed that too.... and the one in my book is different. I wonder if he did 150 variations.
.

[Randall Flagg]

I think so.

[idlewarnings]

Thanks for all the opinions, everyone. I’m going to keep the book bc I think it’s legit. I didn’t have a doubt about the signature until the posts here had me second guessing myself. I’ve been collecting King for more than 20 years and feel like I can spot a fake sig 99% of the time. Looking at the two signatures together, there’s no doubt in my mind they came from the same hand.

I paid $145 for the book. Even if someone somehow proves it’s a fake, it won’t be the most costly collecting blunder I’ve made. That honor still belongs to the $175 Rose Madder proof in my collection that I bought way back in the day.

Thanks again for all the discussion.

[Rahfa]

Right call - I think that first scan made it look really bad and so everyone sort of had preconcived notions, but seeing it side by side (which is when I saw it for the first time) clinched that it's real.

[AKC]

Sorry guys. Looks like I missed this one.....

I just don't like it but, obviously see the similarities you reference.....

Hopefully, I still have some credibility left when rendering my opinion on future sigs.....

I suck.

Haha..hardly. I think this was just one of those sigs with a lot of honest disagreements, for valid reasons. It will always be the challenge of the flatsigned sigs in the days after an event...especially with his sig as rushed and cramped as it is.

[carlosdetweiller]

Sorry guys. Looks like I missed this one.....

I just don't like it but, obviously see the similarities you reference.....

I probably missed it too so we both suck. Just put us in the toilet, flush and be done with it.

[Brice]

Thus solidifying the FACT that i can't judge a sig's validity. I am almost 100% succesful. Basically if i say it's real, it's fake and vice versa.

I just noticed Glenn did a drawing on his signature page of The Big Book of Necon:

Here is mine....slightly different (no cross-shaped tombstone).

I wanted to Show my latest Pride & Joy!
This children's story is authored by one of our very own Home Grown members "Robert Fulman"
Shown are three of five? different versions, 2 trade editions went to my kids (they seriously love the story)
The one on the far left is my S/L edition. I also own a kindle edition.
I wish everyone on this site would take the time to order this from amazon, Kindle or otherwise.
It's really a good story & I hope to see a sequel.
Congratulations Mike ! Well done

Are the Big Book Of Necon remarques going to be like the FDNS rats?

"My gravestone is bigger than yours!"

"Yeah, but I have THREE gravestones!"

"Mine's the bestest, The Great G.C. spilled a drop of grape punch on mine!"

:) I like the drawings.

[Robert Fulman]

Thanks for the kind words, Richard. I'm so glad I decided that the MSPaint cover was a bad idea :)

Also, if one of the kids ever becomes a literary agent, tell them to give me a call.

[WeDealInLead]

On the way to me. It's a cheap, flimsy watch but I needed something I won't feel too bad about breaking at the gym. I asked for the arms on it to be black.

[carlosdetweiller]

I wonder if that is an authorized use of Whelan's artwork?

[WeDealInLead]

Probably not. I made one for myself and ordered it direct. It's not mass produced. If Whelan objects, I'll smash it to pieces and mail it to him.

[Ricky]

I don't think it's in violation of copyright if you, like you said, make/upload the images yourself and keep the product for your own use. I think the issue is when you start selling it to other people. So yes, I would think that there's something funny about that.

[WeDealInLead]

I uploaded the image myself. The watch isn't for sale on the website. I used the image to make a one of a kind watch. I wonder if the DT tattoo I have is also a violation of a copyright?

[Ricky]

I uploaded the image myself. The watch isn't for sale on the website. I used the image to make a one of a kind watch.

Then I'm 99.9% sure that you're fine. I think it's the same principles for ringtones, DVD copying, images, etc. Personal use isn't in violation.

[jhanic]

Don't sell your tattoo. That could be a violation! :tongue:

Hmmm ... right now I want ... a cigaratte ...

lol, I'm very happy to own a TMSG. I had offers earlier in my career, but I just didn't have the money they were looking for at that point. And then Saint Ralph came along and helped me out. :)

nice book ! and nice contest Lilja !

[Robert Fulman]

I have completed my collection of "The Lawrence Block Library", published by G&G Books in the mid-90s. The "library" consists of two books, "In the Midst of Death" and "Ariel". As Lawrence Block tweeted to me:
Ah, that great publishing triumph! They had a sellout w/ the first, a flop w/ the second—and that was the end of that... Let this be a lesson learned to all you aspiring small publishers: publishing a limited edition of the second book in a popular series is good, following that up with a book no one has ever heard of (and is in a different genre from what the author is known for) will drive you out of business. "Ariel", signed and limited to 500 copies, is still available at lawrenceblock.com for the bargain price of $10. "In the Midst of Death" is harder to come by cheaply. My copy is a presentation copy (or publisher's copy). It is signed and numbered "P.C. 14" on the title page, but is lacking the limitation page:

Two different signed limited editions from PS Publishing of Lawrence Block's "Random Walk". On the left is a slipcased hardcover edition, signed by Block and Spider Robinson and limited to 200 copies. This book has a dust jacket. On the right is trade hardcover, signed only by Block and limited to 500 copies. This book doesn't have a dust jacket; the boards are printed to look just like the dust jacket of the slipcased edition. I wasn't aware of this difference, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the differences between the two editions extended beyond the lack of slipcase and one signature.

Leaning on them is a 1966 Fawcett Gold Medal paperback original (i.e., there was no hardcover release) of Lawrence Block's "The Thief Who Couldn't Sleep", the first book in his Evan Tanner series. It's not in perfect shape, but it was pretty cheap ($3; not as cheap as the $0.29 I just paid for the sixth book in the series.)

That looks pretty cool. I wouldn't mind getting a set of those.

I received my copies today of this.

In case anyone is wondering, I paid $12 last week for the Green Mile. All of the other sets have cost less than that.

I would love a Bauman drawing in my copy of THE DEAD ZONE.

[Shannon]

I really like Jill Bauman's remarques ... the only problem (and this is why I didn't purchase one of Betts' remarques) is that she only does the same five or six illustrations. And they're mostly from the illustrations she's done for the books themselves. A remarque, to me, is something that is unique. I don't want to have a conversation that goes like this ... "Oh, you have a tiger face remarque in your Dead Zone also? Niiiiiiice ..." :(

Authorman, I like your shrinkwrapped paperback boxed set collection a lot! Thanks for helping me shape my future collection by putting even MORE ideas in my head, lol.

Nice stuff everyone. I was expecting a box of stuff today (it was mailed off two Fridays ago), but no luck. All I have to show for myself this week is a Lisey's Story ARC, which I'll post in my Collection Thread a little later, I think. Yay? lol

[Patrick]

I understand what you're saying about how a drawing by her probably won't be unique, but I just factor that into the price I'm willing to pay. I won't go as high as I would for something from another artist where I feel there is more variation, but still I really like Bauman's work.

Yeah I totally agree. I could see how that may not matter to someone but that's also why I wouldn't want one--at least as badly as if they were unique. Chadbourne's great in that he may do some that are similar but I've never seen any of his larger/color remarques that looks exactly the same as another remarque. It is cool that she does them at all--I do like them :)

[WeDealInLead]

All very nice. I enjoyed The Hollow Man by Simmons.

How come you don't like his sci-fi books? Just not a sci-fi fan in general?

I'm finishing Hyperion and the way it's plotted reminds me of It. Each character has a back story and reasons why're they're 'there.' I don't want to ruin it for anyone but characters, their stories and the 'monster' in the book definitely have a heavy It feel to them.

[Randall Flagg]

I could never get into the Sci-Fi stuff from Simmons.

[carlosdetweiller]

I could never get into the Sci-Fi stuff from Simmons.

Me either. I read HYPERION but struggled to finish it and have no inclination to read the subsequent book. It took me two tries to get through THE CROOK FACTORY (not sci-fi), but, once I did, I really enjoyed it.

That is very nice. Mark does nice work and is just getting better and better. He is relatively new to this field and a very good guy. A lot of people dissed his work for THE GREEN MILE but I liked it. He has sent me links to some of his recent illustrations for other authors and they are really impressive.

He is indeed a very nice guy. My 1/1 received some damage in transit so, Mark provided another 1/1 for nothing and then personalized it, no extra charge. Talk about nice!!!!

I love how intricate his drawings are yet, not overstated.

That's very cool, Merlin! Can't wait to see your other remarques as they start coming in. I fully approve of your new collecting trend!

There's a Jill Bauman on page 462. The Wastelands and Desperation are still in the hands of the Artists!!

Nice drawing in your book, Bill!

Congrats to you others as well!

Please donate your spare copies of Marshroots (Fall, 1973) and Ubris (Spring, 1968/Fall, 1969) to me. They will be well taken care of.


*edit: I almost forgot to mention that a very kind fellow forum member recently enabled me to upgrade a number of trade 1st editions to collectible condition. Thank you, Will!

[carlosdetweiller]

Nice stuff, Michael. That copy of Ubris with the flag on the cover is really scarce.

[biomieg]

Thank you, Bob. I am very glad to have that one, but I'm also very aware of the fact that I still have three hard-to-find publications to go. But that's one of the things that keeps it interesting.

Still quite a few things I am looking for too.

[olverts]

Very nice Michaël !
Hate myself for not buying that Bachman Books proof from Betts when i had the chance .

I have some new P&J´s to post later tonight that you might recognize :)

[biomieg]

Hahaha, yeah well, I hate myself for selling you some of my early US proofs. But if I hadn't done it I wouldn't have been able to buy some of the magazines in the pictures. It's a game of give and take (at least when you have my limited financial resources). I'm glad to hear that The Package has arrived safely, Hannes.

[olverts]

Eventually i will get a Bachman Books proof and you the early US Proofs !

A lot of Proofs arrived today :)

First 4 UK Proofs
