Facsimile Signatures In Limited Editions

[herbertwest]

What about fac-simile messages?


There are probably other books out there, but the first that comes to my mind is the french limied edition of THE GREEN MILE 1 : it includes a message by King to french readers + signature. The entiere thing is a fac simile, and there are about 300+ of those (300 numbered were given away in a contest, and there are some that are not numbered and were supposedly given away to some book stores or sales rep.

I agree that those would not be as interested as if it was an actual signature, but IMO it's better than a flatsigned fac simile (eg : REVIVAL UK fac simile edition).


Any opinion?

Those are just as bad if not worse.

Even if those may be considered as bad, I have one to sell, and I havent seen one for sale in many years !
But I would guess that those are more likely to interest french collectors !

Considering that edition has a "fascimile" note by King, I'd buy it but only if it has a low price.

For information, I sold it within a day.
