"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
No I knew it was a Buick and was quite hopeful actually... Would have been a great find for a King fan if it had been

Bad news :
- i asked on abebooks to a seller (Better World Books, which I am sure, many people know as a) to give me the printing date of a book for which I am looking for a 1st /1st. Not King related. And obviously it was too good : i was told february of 1991 was really important to me. Was told published in 1991. When asked the month i was told february. Reminded of february of 1991 being important, and what do i recieve? february of 1993.... fuck off !
Even if the book did only cost me like 5€, I would have ordered it if i knew !
Good news :
I had a new job offer. By proposal i mean 3 job interviews and a real offer which I will accept as this is what I asked! I will therefore earn another 250€ per months (over 13 months), with numerous advantages, including the location : literally 30mins by walk, 10mins on a bus.
This is a real luxury when living / working near Paris !
Really excited about this opportunity. I have been looking for a new job for over 2 years (doing countless interviews with companies / recruitment agencies), but looking for something interesting. Not just another company for changing job. And I feel that I will learn a LOT in this one, including skills that will be important for a web project that me and a few friends are working on !
Will meet the HR within the next few days and then it's time to quit my current job!

Yesterday's BAD news was : i recieved the wrong book, after being told that a seller have a 1st /1st of a book I am interested in.
>>> The seller replied that they sent the wrong book my mistake and are going to send me the correct one immediately. >>> therefore turning into a GOOD news.
Yesterday's GOOD news was : i recieved an offer for a position that I am very interested in, and I accepted the offer.
>>> This morning I sent an email saying basically that I was very happy with the offer and asking a few questions for the human ressources which are legitimate (I cannot tell you everything, but let's just say that it's not really a 'normal' recruitment).
>>> Tonight, the boss calls me and tells me that my email made him think that I seem to "follow procedures" which is fine in itself as help being rigorous, but is wondering if i would be able to perform in this fast paced environment. (Which I am, trust me, I am currently working for a major mass-market retailer (let's call it a french equivalent of wal-mart). Therefore he invites me to come to another interview on monday morning with him and a colleague. >>> Therefore the offer is a standby I guess. >>> Therefore it is turning into a BAD news.
For fuck sake !
Still have some alcohol from last night's celebration (although I didnt fully celebrate as I prefer waiting to have signed something before doing so. Which seem even more relevant now). Monday seem quite far..............

I recently got a mix up/wrong edition from Better World Books too but in my case the edition they sent me was better than the one I had ordered. I wonder if they are often mixing up editions/orders if they're just off this week. Also I hope everything works out OK for you with the job, good luck!
the Dragon Ball Z game i have always wanted to play but they never made, though some of the later games did come close
I dont know but this is definitely their fault.
After exchanging emails with the customer service when asked the printing date, I asked HOW I could make sure that they sent me the RIGHT COPY.
I mentionned it again when I purchased the book, but apparently that wasn't enough.
Cant wait to recieve the "right" copy !
