Here is my STALKING THE NIGHTMARE. I tried like hell to get a shot of the plate, but the darn camera just wouldn't focus. Anyway, it's copy 'B', held back by the publisher and offered to me along with 'A' a number of years ago. Neither was in perfect shape, but 'B' was a little better, so I took it.

holy shit

That is also 100% the best limitation page I've ever seen. Yes, yes, people like artwork and stuff, but there are lots of other pages in the book you could do that with! I appreciate a limitation page that tells me as much about the book as possible. Or if you don't do it on the limitation page, put a front or back colophon that lays it out.

But that page. Wow. The only limitation page I've ever seen in my life that not only includes a parenthetical aside, but one that says this: "(a fast catalysing liquid casting solution)". That's an absolute Hall of Famer. I love it and I will be looking for that book, likely vainly, from here on out.

Just a blast of a presentation and the Platonic ideal of a descriptive limitation page! Thank you, as always

Suntup's IAL AGE. I have no where else to put it. As soon as my fingernails are long enough I'll slit the shrinkwrap and remove it.

Probably can get it at all the usual suspects I'm sure as well.

The UK edition is a hardcover.

BD is showing the UK as a PB.

Oops, my mistake! I was reading "also available as a hardcover" while I was ordering it! You are right! The hardcover is an earlier release.

Another photo from Imgur. I think these are sharper than the way I usually post them!

[The Library Policeman]

Those look great, Steve.

[Brian861]

Looks good.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Thanks, I think I'll experiment with Imgur for a while.

I found a place to display my lettered ELLISON UNDER GLASS. Now if I could just get rid of that pesky ENDER'S GAME I could put the numbered next to it.
