It’s nice…not Centipede Press nice, but nice. Boards are covered in textured red leather, and it’s in a black textured leather slipcase. Gold gilt embossing on spine. No interior illustrations, but...

I'll stick with my signed (by Matheson) and numbered slipcased HC from Gauntlet Press. Folio puts out some handsome volumes, but I agree that limited price is kinda stiff for what it is.

Yeah, I debated long and hard about this one as well, but ultimately decided to pass. If you have a chance to post a few pics, I'd love to see it.

Thanks for posting the close-up; that was a great find at eBay, and one I'm sad I missed, but I'm glad it went to a good, appreciative home. :thumbsup:

Too bad we don't know the story behind...

That's great, Dan -- where did you get the handwritten portion?

If I were for some reason told that I had to winnow my library of nearly 3000 volumes down to ten, my S/L HC of Matheson's COLLECTED STORIES would be one of those preserved. Absolutely wonderful...

I didn't care for OTHER KINGDOMS. It wasn't as bad as HUNGER AND THIRST, but it was a disappointment (as most of his Gauntlet trunk novels have been, unfortunately).

Nice -- that's a pretty good copy. Thanks for sharing pics...I'll have to live vicariously for now.

Do you have BORN OF MAN AND WOMAN, the 1st HC? That's a missing Holy Grail of mine. Tough to find them in decent condition, given water damage wiped out much of the stock prior to release. That...

Ah. No, mine is just the standard trade by Dream Press. Yes, I believe you're missing this edition, the standard trade. Now that you jog my memory, I remember reading something about how that...

I have the KOLCHAK SCRIPTS as well, though lack the nice slipcase (traycase?).



Is yours the Special Commerative Edition?[/QUOTE]

Not that I'm aware of. Where would I find that designation?

Dan, my trade HC (though it is inscribed by Matheson to me) has the text on the flaps...I've no idea what you have there, but I've never seen a dj for this particular volume (and I've handled four...

No, it wasn't designed that way...mine started out (bought new) as one solid color...the spine has faded over time.

Yes, mine is definitely similar to the above photo ^^^ -- golden everywhere but the spine, which has that same faded look. In fact, I'd say that my spine is even more washed out than the above. ...

Very nice, Dan. I have a signed trade HC of that one. Not sure why, but the yellow of the spine on it has faded some...and I'm very careful about keeping my books out of direct (or even...

I have that S/L of I AM LEGEND as well. I'm surprised to hear that value has gone down (or is shaky)...I would've thought the value of that would have stayed high and stable, given its seminal...

An excellent place to start!

Enjoy the acquisition, but if you do read it, please don't judge Matheson on HUNGER AND THIRST...it's a trunk novel that should have stayed a trunk novel. Try his classic novels and his short...

Hmm. I'd almost prefer the book not have a signature page than have one with the wrong title on it. What's your take on it, Dan -- pleased or disappointed?

It's a bit moot for me, as I probably...
