+1, George. I haven't been slutty enough of late so gotta spread it around some more.

Thanks, John. This is what I was trying to say in my earlier post - maybe didn’t come across very clearly. I think it was more than fair to give everyone advance notice. Also agree with namlessndpoor and George that missing out is just part of it when things get competitive. David does so much for this collecting community, that he doesn’t need to be told how to do it. It was a unique situation where some people knew what was going to be listed ahead of time, and could request books by name without scrolling through the list. Some did, and that’s fine. I just agree with you, John, that requesting by listing number might work better.
I made the mistake of request by list number, which meant I actually looked at the list even though I have a spreadsheet as well. No biggie
Wish List:
Any of the following flatsigned or inscribed-
It, Shining, Salem’s Lot, Mr. Mercedes, The Stand
Brother ARC, Seed ARC
Any idea of when the next batch will be up for sale?

next batch (guess) early December. I got over 400 emails (down to last 50) since Friday....I need to get thru emails and want to ship orders before I launch next batch.
Dragline : Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me - with nothin'.
Luke : Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
Sounds good to me. Thanks very much, David.

I've created a new thread, listed below and with John's permission, to showcase his collection in the hands of its new caretakers.
Caretakers of John Hanic's Collection
You don't know my kind.....You don't my mind.....Dark necessities are part of my design.....
More than 78.5% of the 1st tranche of the John Hanic collection has been sold. Despite that high percentage of "sold" items, there are still bargains available, amazingly! I plan to wait another week before I decide whether to buy a couple of lots but there are some nice items tempting me. I personally look forward to the next tranche and hope that I get lucky with a bid(s). Kudos to David for a bang-up job, as usual. And John, it will be an honor for me to refer to some of my books as "ex-Hanic!"

What does F&G mean in some of the listings?

I believe that they are also commonly known as "blue lines"

Bluelines are a digitally printed proof of the book that the printer sends you before printing begins, so you can check that everything is where it should be. Bluelines are not printed on the same paper as the real book will be. (In the old days, they were actually blue due to the method used to produce them, which is where the name came from.)
The F&Gs are the actual printed signatures (groupings of pages, usually in groups of 8 or 16) that can be bound to form the book. They have been "folded and gathered" together:

Well now, Brian, I'm gonna need those for my Hill collection. You do realize this

Congratulations on a successful first run John. I know you've heard it a thousand times but I'll also say that I'm sorry you're having to sell. What a collection you amassed though! I hope it helps you and your family out and I imagine we'll all be there one day so you're not alone.
I didn't get anything this go round but look forward to seeing everything that you lovingly collected!
Hi all, I've been away for a while, mainly due to not having money to put toward the hobby, but the "Later" sale enticed me back out (No, I didn't have any luck getting Lettered OR Numbered due to the website issues).
I'm sorry to see that John is selling his collection, but glad that David will be finding great homes for them all. I missed the first batch as I didn't know it was coming. Is it possible to get the 'list' so that I can try to plan what I might want to try for from future batches?
Thanks.
