Oddball Books and First Editions
Here are a couple of good ones. “Before there was ARTOO DEETO, before SEE THREEPIO there was THX 1138″, I like the way Star Wars is in a bigger typeface than THX 1138. Warner Brothers scrabbling to get something back? :-
I’ve been hunting for the three original Han Solo books for years, not looking on eBay of course as that just spoils the fun. I’ve only ever found one :-
This is an odd Terry Pratchett “Book Proof” I found in Pele Mele. It’s in the American large paperback format with none of the “other books by” pages at either end :-
My small but growing shelf of Graham Greene BODLEY HEAD first editions, although http://www.booksellerworld.com says
“He is one of the most collectable literary authors with his early books being much sought after, later titles in jacket are not considered rare, though collecting the early firsts is a matter of great patience and expense.”
Notice how the experts wrongly spell collectible!
