So I've had an interesting run of luck at the Salvation Army lately. A while back I found a copy of Lansdale's LEATHER MAIDEN in fantastic condition. The other day I scored a signed 1st edition (7th printing) of FIGHT CLUB. I love Palahniuk's stuff and never bought a copy of FIGHT CLUB before so it was a sweet find. Then yesterday I went back and got a STRAIN paperback (I have the Lonely Road lettered edition of THE FALL and wanted to read the first book first), a hardcover 11/22/63 (the only King novel I've never bothered to read), a hardcover copy of LAST NIGHT A SUPERHERO SAVED MY LIFE (a collection of articles with contributions by Lansdale and Gaiman), and SCENIC ROUTE, a mystery book that I just had to buy.
I bought it because the cover was really cool and the quality of the production was above average. I didn't bother looking it up on Amazon or Goodreads, I just gambled with my $1.95 like a millionaire.
After getting it home I noticed it was signed. And taking the dust jacket off, really shows what a nice book it is. The DJ is in fair to poor shape.
Anyway, I can't find much on this book or the author (apparently this is his first book). There are a lot of copies for sale on eBay and none have sold. And the book also received the lettered treatment! So I'm really puzzled why an unknown author who wrote an unwanted book got such a great limited edition treatment. Anyone know anything about this book?
