    Here's the HSB he signed for me. As a Neil Young fan, I like the quote.

    During the Q&A, I told Joe that I was reading 20th Century Ghosts and loved the story "Pop Art", thus the mention of his character Arthur Roth:

    Also, flat-signed HSB:



    and flat-signed 20th Century Ghosts:



    Jerome and I each bought our HSB books ahead of time to ensure getting 1st edition/1st printings (shown in the various photos above).

    Side note: I bought a 1st ed./4th printing of HSB at Cody's in order to give them some business. Since the event was not jam-packed, I asked Joe to sign and inscribe that one as well. Why not. At my request, he inscribed it to a DT character. What a great guy.

    We each got a couple of the Cody's pamphlets signed to help provide "provenance" as to the authenticity of our signed books - especially the flat signed ones. This was another of Jerome's good ideas.

    Thanks, Matt. It really was a great time. Hopefully Jerome will post some pics of his stuff.

    We got a number of other books inscribed and signed that night, but they are all in the hands of other members around here.

    I went to see Joe again a few nights later, I'll post those pics too if you wish.

    Here's a picture of Subterranean Press Limited Hardcover Magazine, where Joe wrote 'Last Breath', and signed with everyone else. I have No 1/100.

    Hey Rick, how'd you get that one? Did you come up north for that signing (I'd be bummed if I missed you in person) or did you contact the bookstore or something?

    Thanks to Patrick for this...Joe remembered that I authored his Wikipedia entry...was really nice of Patrick. Thank you so much




    Also - Joe wrote me a letter and replied to a comment I made about wanting to be a writer as well - but I write about 10 pages and I hate them all. This was his reply:

    Not everyone here has seen all this stuff yet, especially as more collectors and "appreciators" join up and view these threads. Therefore, everyone, please don't hesitate to post pics here that you might have posted on other sites in the past.

    I love that Joe Hill's signature isn't really a signature, he just prints his name.

    Yes it is. he's lucky to have it. Besides Hill it also has Brian Keene, and the last one I saw on eBay went for almost $400. Here is a more reasonable one, but it's still nearing $100.

    btw, it is a very interesting book. Each author wrote a chapter, and surprisingly it holds up real well. I thought is was a great read!

    btw, here are the two earlier Postscripts Limited Hardcovers that Joe was in, and signed. 'Best New Horror' was in Postscripts 3, and 'Bobby Conroy Comes Back from the Dead' was in Postscripts 5.

    I am lucky to have it...I bought it before Hill exploded and I paid $78 for it. And I honestly thought...wow...thats a lot of money for a book I know nothing about.

    Aren't I glad?
