there have been several up on ebay lately - in the $250-350 range - although not sure if they all have the reader copy. Most have gone unsold - so you could probably message the seller directlyOriginally Posted by somekindofstranger

Very nice proof. Only a couple of weeks until we see what shakes out w the damn truth. Btw I saw an auction that someone "presold" one of the 250 limited copies for £199. Seriously 4x the issue price - I was amazed - especially since you can still find copies for pre-order if you only searched a little bit.
As an aside - check out the cbldl website - comic book legal defense league -

They have some great stuff - a bunch of signed graphic novels, some by gaiman too - since he helped establish it. I just dropped a couple hundred yesterday on books I wanted to read. Signed copies of Maus, Craig thompson, jeff smith, Frank miller, watchmen books, just to name a few. These are all just slightly above original publisher costs if that. I'd been wanting a bone artist edition from idw - and they had a signed/sketched version for less than idw sells their signed/numbered copy (and that isn't sketched). So check it out. Plus if you need a charitable organization to donate to you can do that as well.
BTW - Amazon still has the larger US Truth edition listed and it says it's signed by both. They probably just allocated a certain amount to GB. I'm thinking it's going to be the same book only with a different limitation.
Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.
i cannot imagine that they are different

Well, my order of Truth is on the way from Amazon. I figured I would keep it as well as the one from Book Depository. If they end up being the same edition with the same limitation, I'll just sell one at face value and be done with it.
No shipping notice yet from Things from another world - will see what copies they ended up getting...
I received my long ago ordered copies of Truth today from Amazon. I ordered two and they're sequential numbers (of 3,000). Nice productions.
One thing that's odd is that Eddie Campbell's signature is in gold marker in one of the books, and green marker in the other. Also, signed differently with the green sig being all on one line, and the gold having 'Eddie' above 'Campbell'.
Probably not that strange to change markers during signing many limitation pages I guess. But weird that of 2 sequential books I have 2 different sig colors and styles.
Also, total number of pages I'm counting is 82 - which doesn't match either the Amazon or Book Depository descriptions.
please post some pics - so we can compare to the other limited copy. Was there a CD or DVD included in the amazon copy? curious to see if there will actually be any differences - besides the limitation number
I got my Amazon order today - out of 3000 as listed above and produced by William Morrow. It does have the CD. The one I ordered from BD says it is published by Headline. I have a feeling it may be the same book with a different limitation and copyright page. Will have to wait and see.
I haven't seen a copy yet. Did these sheets have hand-numbering or pre-printed numbering?
I can only speak from personal experience, so don't quote me as this being correct in this particular instance, but there's a very good reason we don't number or letter sheets BEFORE they go to the printer: the printer often reshuffles the sheets or even damages some in the printing process. So it's entirely possible that the very first sheet signed and the very last sheet signed could end up in back to back books! Since we number the books after the arrive back from the printer, we never know if the signing order was maintained. (But based on the couple of times when an author did pre-number the sheets, I would guess the signing order is almost never maintained...!)
I think it's really neat that you ended up with two different color pens on your sig sheets. I know some people don't care about that sort of thing, but I always think it's cool.

Sure thing, cit74. Here's a picture of my two limitation pages (again these are both from Amazon). And yes, the mp3 CD was included - it looks exactly like pictured on the sub press site and others.
Also thanks for your comments and insights on the signature sheet process, Brian. Very interesting - I just never really thought about how out of order they must get. I also think it's kind of cool to see such differences on sequential copies, but I will geek out a bit on such things.
wow - different - i like the gaiman sig on top and the campbell sig on the bottom book - thats just me.
