I'll second this request! I've wanted to do acrylic slipcases for some of my proofs for the longest time but have not had any luck tracking down someone who will make custom acrylic in very small...

I've never seen this! But it definitely looks like Centipede Press work. Sometimes he does small runs of extras, which could be the case here. If they're unbound, they could also be a test printing...

I think this is dead on.

As a shipper, I have no strong preference between the services, other than USPS is cheaper and has locations in my small town, while UPS and FedEx do not.

As a...

Yep, all this, 100%.

I would add that my personal packaging preference (both sending and receiving) is to have bubble wrap around the books and packing peanuts between the wrapped book and the...

Maybe you were just paraphrasing here, but I don't think this response is correct. As WDIL and Brian noted, the number line determines the printing - so a 1st edition 4th printing should have the...

If you get a set of Billy cases they will (a) not set you back that much, relatively speaking, (b) look good, and (c) hold up well over time. They've come up over and over here and most members are...

I'd give you positive rep for your patience but it appears I need to spread it around more first. Thanks :cool:

I think you are right! But several other people mentioned the lettered and...

Wow - this discussion really illuminates the diverse aesthetics of various collectors!

I think the book design for the Lettered GBB is one of my favorite productions that CD has ever done. The...

I love how they altered the text to mis-align across the "break"!!

(Guessing they didn't do it with the face because it would have looked super weird.)

I think I got negative rep for my comment/advice too, which seemed relatively innocuous :confused::confused::confused:

Maybe someone's in a bad mood today.

Whoever it is: I hope you have a...

I think there's been lot of great advice here so far - and lots that applies to people who have been collecting for awhile also. My own collecting has evolved since I started 7-8 years ago, and I'm...

I personally get mine from https://www.squaredealonline.com/.

That looks AWESOME! Anyone have any idea on an ISBN?

I too want one, and tracking down foreign language books has proven one of the most difficult challenges in collecting!

that looks awesome and I want one
