That is marvelous. Great find!
That is great! I keep my eyes open for various Dracula books, but haven't found any that I want to spend money on yet. Love that book, top ten for sure.
That's awesome. Did you see the new Easton Press edition illustrated by Rick Berry, not quite as nice, but...Originally Posted by carlosdetweiller
I can't get enough of Dracula editions. In 2008 The Folio Society published an edition of Dracula that I liked quite a bit, especially the woodcut illustrations by Abigail Rorer. I found this on eBay a couple of weeks ago and had not heard of this edition. It is published by The Lone Oak Press. One of five copies (this is "III" of "V"). It has a custom traycase, a signed copy of the book and a portfolio of the nine engravings all signed and numbered (all "III" of "V"). Happy to have found this.

Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.
Thanks! I had not seen the Rick Berry illustrated book. I knew it was coming but didn't know when. But wow! It is $276! Says it is not shipping until 6/30.
That is beautiful edition, Bob.
I like Rick Berry's artwork in the Easton edition too.

All their numbered editions are expensive, but the production quality is usually second to none. They seem to be reissuing many books they have published before now in limited, sometimes numbered and/or signed editions, so would not be surprised if reissues of Frankenstein and Phantom of the Opera would follow at some point. I think Dracula will be signed by the artist and numbered.Yeah, that's why I haven't ordered one yet. Kinda high.Thanks! I had not seen the Rick Berry illustrated book.

Yep, it is signed by Rick Berry and numbered - 1200 edition.

Anybody here a Terry Brooks fan? (Or want to be?) I have a largish collection I'd like to let go as a set but will take inquires on specific pieces. I don't have everything by him, but some nice gems including a signed limited arc of Jerle Shannara, hardcover signed Sword of Shannara (1991 edition) a lot of ARCs. Plus a lot are signed. (some personalized)
Pm me if you want a complete list.
I read The Amityville Horror way back in 1978 or so. It was one of those books that really scared me. I think it scared me so much because it was supposed to be a true story. I guess it has pretty much been exposed as a hoax but some still believe something supernatural was going on in that house. Anyway I feel pretty naive that I bought in to the story and let it scare me but I certainly was not alone. It seems like such a long time ago.
Nice first edition copies of the book seem to be very hard to come by and there are several later printings that are advertised as "first editions." But I had never seen a proof of this title for sale until recently. This one looks unread and just about as new. An interesting piece of American horror literature history.
Very nice, Bob. I think I read it for the first time in the early 80's and really enjoyed it also.
Wow, Bob. Unbelievable! I loved this book too when I read it in the 80s (of course, I was not even a teenager, so I blame my naivete on that!). But I have been looking on and off for a good 1st edition. I can't believe you found a proof! Do you have super powers?!I read The Amityville Horror way back in 1978 or so.

No. Just some good fortune every now and then from spending way too much time on the internet. And I'm looking for a nice first edition copy too.
One of the many books I still need to read. Fabulous acquisition, Bob!
Anyone that has looked at my collection thread knows that I'm a Dune fan.
Easton Press announced today that they are finally publishing a set of all 6 original novels. I've been waiting for that to happen for a long time.
They are kind of overpriced at $110 each for regular unsigned EP editions, considering you can still buy their regular edition of Dune for $70 (or less on ebay).
However, I'm pretty excited to get them. (At least until I can convince Jerad at CP to publish them.)
Mark Twain
That's a great idea.
Also, Ringworld and Space Odyssey.
I've actually talked to him a couple of times about Dune. He did show some initial interest, but has a lot in the publishing schedule. I need to follow up with him again.That's a great idea.

I have two Tim Lebbon lettered editions for sale: Mind the Gap and Last Exit for the Lost. Not PC, both in fine condition. $100 + shipping for both.
I didn't know Christopher Priest wrote comics. His 600+ page collection is coming out in a couple months. The price is reasonable but I think I'll hold off on pre-ordering until I see the book in person in a comic store. I'd like check out the paper stock, binding, art etc. before spending $60 on a book I've never read.

That's a different Christopher Priest.
But it's a hilarious comic that's worth a read.
A really cool signed limited edition of Ender's Game, by Orson Scott Card just went up for sale from Centipede Press - ships the end of the month and it sounds/looks awesome!
