The regular edition of All of Me Is Illustrated is only $45.

I don't know enough about tattoo artists in order to want their signatures. And while the slipcase is nice, it isn't "$270 more" nice...
My opinion may have been swayed if it had the leather binding and gilded pages of other Easton Press titles. But it just looks like a regular book (which makes sense since it's a third party title).Last edited by Splync; 10-31-2020, 02:32 AM.

Thanks for sharing the link, Ron.
The question of how Bradbury would have felt about this is really interesting, and I’m not sure how to answer. But I’d hope that his estate wouldn’t allow a publisher to do something they think he’d strongly disapprove of. Unless I’m being naive in thinking that people would turn down a chance at profit to preserve the integrity of the art.

In case anybody missed it, Easton Press is selling an edition of Bradbury's The Illustrated Man and The Illustrated Woman that I think is pretty cool--not like anything I've seen before. And only 220 copies, which, for Easton Press, is a pretty low number for a limited. I'm having trouble adding the link here, but it's called All of Me is Illustrated and is worth a look.

I can't find any indication on-line that there was a second printing by Easton, so my guess is that since Easton does not typically number their editions and rumor has it that their "limiteds" can be rather generous in true number, that they had copies remaining but had sold out of enough copies to exhaust the 2016 CoA. So they had Morgenstern sign additional CoAs this year to try and move the rest of the 2016 book inventory.
That said, I could be wrong and there was, in fact, a second printing done...I just tend to think that that is less likely than a new batch of 2020 CoAs to try and move the rest of the books. It's also notable that, if I understand you correctly, there is no "Second Printing" notation on the copyright page, which would also presumably suggest that it is only the CoA that is new.
Kind of odd, though, and certainly had to be disappointing for you -- it's like having a car body and engine that are matched appropriately but have different serial numbers...they go together, but they didn't come out of the factory together and, as such, aren't as desirable by collectors.

Easton Press ?
I received the Easton Press The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. It reads copyright 2011 inside, that is the original publication date of the book. Below that it reads the special edition contents of this edition are copyright 2016. The author certificate of authenticity is signed by the author in June 2020. Is this a second edition?? I am confused.... I noticed the trade paperback is 512 pages while the Easton Press edition is only 387 pages.
