Here is my STALKING THE NIGHTMARE. I tried like hell to get a shot of the plate, but the darn camera just wouldn't focus. Anyway, it's copy 'B', held back by the publisher and offered to me along with 'A' a number of years ago. Neither was in perfect shape, but 'B' was a little better, so I took it.

holy shit

That is also 100% the best limitation page I've ever seen. Yes, yes, people like artwork and stuff, but there are lots of other pages in the book you could do that with! I appreciate a limitation page that tells me as much about the book as possible. Or if you don't do it on the limitation page, put a front or back colophon that lays it out.

But that page. Wow. The only limitation page I've ever seen in my life that not only includes a parenthetical aside, but one that says this: "(a fast catalysing liquid casting solution)". That's an absolute Hall of Famer. I love it and I will be looking for that book, likely vainly, from here on out.

Just a blast of a presentation and the Platonic ideal of a descriptive limitation page! Thank you, as always :)

Got my Li'l Abner book of stories today.

Nice little books, they got big brothers?

Just big sisters, but that would be telling.

Suntup's IAL AGE. I have no where else to put it. As soon as my fingernails are long enough I'll slit the shrinkwrap and remove it.

BD is showing the UK as a PB.

Oops, my mistake! I was reading "also available as a hardcover" while I was ordering it! You are right! The hardcover is an earlier release.

Another photo from Imgur. I think these are sharper than the way I usually post them!

Those look great, Steve. :thumbsup:

Looks good.

Thanks, I think I'll experiment with Imgur for a while.

I found a place to display my lettered ELLISON UNDER GLASS. Now if I could just get rid of that pesky ENDER'S GAME I could put the numbered next to it.
