I have an AS first edition,  first printing.....it is a former library copy and has been price clipped....so it has a lot of problems....but it probably has SOME worth beyond the $35 dollars I paid for it.  It was priced at $50, but I had a 30% off coupon that day at Half Price Books....so I got a bargain.

The frenzy surrounding this "book" by this "author" reminds me of the Tulip Craze that was recounted in HANS BRINKER AND THE SILVER SKATES.

I would have to say THE RETURN OF TARZAN.  It is the book that started an addictive reading habit and a book-collecting habit that now stands at about 5-6,000 books.

The life-changer book for me, as I've said many times, was To Kill a Mockingbird.  Obviously I'd read books before that and enjoyed them and even loved some, but that book changed everything for me - and in short order so did Lord of the Flies and Nineteen Eighty-Four.

I've been up since six damn thirty but stayed in bed resting.  I hate when my internal clock suddenly thinks I want to announce a CD every day.

That's good enough, Matthew!

Good morning to you, as well!

And Good Morning to all the Hainsies/Kimlets here and abroad!

If she really wanted to disguise who she was she may have had someone else sign the books. A masculine writing


But then couldn't anyone sign a book (themselves) and call it a "signed first edition?"

This could also be a sign that a CD should be announced every day!

I left the office with Tally around 11:15 and got home around 12:15; traffic on Sixth Avenue was terrible today and the bus took forever.  I've got my lottery tickets, answered emails, bought some mp3 files from iTunes, purchased a used CD from eBay, and pondered lunch.  I'm still pondering that.

Tuesday afternoon greetings!  I slept 'til 9am and Richard left shortly after that to have his car checked before this weekend's drive to Wisconsin.  After breakfast, I threw on some clothes and made lasagna for tonight's dinner.  Put it in the fridge to set and Richard called from the car place to say that they were replacing his brakes and he was getting hungry.  Picked him up and we went to Frisch's (Big Boy) for lunch.  Then I took him back to the car place and I went to Kroger for salad and bread for dinner.  He was home by the time I got here and we're in from the heat for the rest of the day.

I just made the deposit on our lodgings for our November week in NYC.  We'll be in the same studio apartment where we stayed in 2007 when we were there for Richard's off-Broadway debut in THE BRAIN FROM PLANET X.  It's at 54th and Ninth.
