He's got quite a few things up. I might snag one or two more.

What's his ebay name?

This arrived today:





I like De Sade...

From Wiki: "Much of his writing was done during his imprisonment. The term "sadism" is derived from his name."

PS: gguthrie ... mace37

Does anyone here collect old mens magazines such as Penthouse and Playboy? I only ask because i was recently given about 25 of these magazines, almost all from the 70's (roughly 72 - 78) there are a 2 Playboys from 67 and 68. They are in ok shape for theier age, i really have no use for them, was going to tyr ebay with them but if anyone here collects them i will let them go pretty cheap.
thanks
Rusty

[NeedfulKings]

A couple of more Garton items. Blood and Lace (written as Joseph Locke) and a comic contribution to Verotika. Both are signed by Ray.

I know a few people have mentioned collecting Vonnegut but does anyone have any signed editions??

I was looking into getting a copy for my finace, she is a die-hard fan, and have found quite a few between $160-$400. Sound fair?

[theBeamisHome]

I collect the old ones with SK appearances in them. I'm not sure I could afford them right now, but if you're referring to any of those I'd be interested in seeing what you've got.

There's a wide variety of S/L Vonnegut books out ther and an equally wide range of prices. I'd suggest checking out Easton Press, I believe they still have a few signed books available through their online catalog.
(EP is a publisher of some pretty nice leather bound books.)

I actually like Easton Press. I bought the 13 volume Classics of Horror series and am very pleased with it. I've also got the 5 volume Vampire Chronicles series by Anne Rice. Pretty books. I wouldn't want a room full of them but a few strategically placed can really dress up a collection.

Thanks! Shes actually a Staffie, basically a cousin of the pit from the UK.

Thanks for the info, will look into EP!

Agreed. I also picked up the Vampire Chronicles and one or two others. They're a little "classical" looking for my tastes, but they are still very nice quality books to have in your collection.

Did you get the signed edition of Interview?

Yes, the first volume (Interview) is signed. I didn't think much about it at the time. It cost the same as the others, IIRC. Now the signed one has become quite the collector's item.

Easton books are fun to collect because they're which ones become collectible is so random at times...

The two s/l's by Tim Russert were going for crazy money upon his death (irrational prices...they can't maintain the value, because nobody will remember him five years from now)...but I sold my copy of them years ago because I've never liked him...

Some book by Winston Churchill's son goes for big money for some strange reason....then books I would expect to have a lot of value don't get much interest at all: Jerry Lewis, Lauren Bacall...

I have probably 200 Easton signed books, though I've only bought my subscriber copies for awhile...they look cool, and I figure worse case I'll get most of my money back if I have to sell.

Although...before the 2004 election I spent $350 for an s/l John Kerry book, which I now couldn't sell for anything...oh well...

And, I have all three John McCain s/ls, including the very rare "Faith of my Fathers"...Financially, it will be to my benefit if he wins....but for the sake of the country, I hope he doesn't! Haha

That's the way I am with Easton. I have about 15 of them. I buy them if it's the best edition available, and I'm happy with it. But I see no need to buy a lot (and they can be expensive).

There are 5 available, and if you ask, I bet they have one or two more that are not on the site.

i dont really collect anything except King, but there is a french popular author that i do appreciate a lot.
And, as i know a guy which do bibliographies (i've supported him within the last weekson a french King bibliography that should be published soon), i did decide few months ago to work on a sort of bibliography (even more that that!) about the french author.

My 'book' is finished, and i plann to send it to the author before the end of the week, and I hope that he will appreciate it (maybe he'll write something for it? lol) and i'll try to publish it :-)

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

Congrats Herb. Hope it gets published.

I have started collecting Cormac McCarthy.

I have a first of The Road and the proof. But his books aren't very easy to get. Not only are there fewer copies, but no one really knows him as well as one would know Stephen King. In addition. no one wants to sell - mainly because they might not know how valuable his stuff is.

A first edition of Blood Meridian is worth a nice penny. I collect McCarthy and I am still finding out that he did limited editions that I wasn't aware of before!

If anyone has info on McCarthy's limited editions - let's chat. I am curious...

[Matt]

Hey Dolan, great to see you.

[Dolan]

Thats Matt - looks like you have gotten younger ;-)

[Matt]

That's my grand daughter, I think she does make me younger weirdly enough.
