I have that edition of HOWL, in better shape than the one shown. Interesting the paperback of ERAGON is there. I have the first ed. first pntg of the hardcover instead... I'll bet I can guess at least one of the ones you have...

You might even guess all three.

Glad I swore you to secrecy.

I own two and they're signed, but not by the author--does that count?

mybillcrider said...

Everything counts.

You would have had more, Bill, but your first edition Gutenburg Bible and the Bay Psalm Book don't count because they're not paperbacks. Might as well chuck them.

Ha--that's nothing! I've got a BEN HUR, 1860, third edition, with an erratum (duplicated line) on page 116.

I'm guessing Burroughs, Swados, and Thompson, and the one signed is Burroughs, but I sense that this will remain your secret forever.

mybillcrider said...

It's not really much of a secret, and your guess is correct, sir.
