Bookplates: Yes or No??

[bsaenz24]

Not to burst your bubble but, there's not a lot of difference between a signed author book plate and a sig sheet in a signed limited. The author never actually had the book in his hands, he had a stack of sig sheets that where then bound into the book by the printer.

Yes, but Dan, a book plate is a STICKER!!!!!

Seriously though, thou shalt not use bookplates!! I see a signature page as a normal and intended part of the book. Bookplates == BAD!!!!! REDRUM!!! REDRUM!!! REDRUM!!!

Oh I totally agree, just didn't want anyone to have the allusion that the authors actually held and signed you books. They held and signed the signature page, just not the whole book.

Gee, thanks Dan - my little bright spot of the universe today has been utterly demolished, destroyed and devastated

It's upsetting when I find a collectable with a non-author related bookplate, ink stamp or writing in it. I'd only buy it as a low-priced reading copy.

So on all my Stephen king first editions and a few of my limited editions that my EX wife wrote "Asshole" on would lower their worth ..HAHAHA unless of course I become a world famous author then they might be worth something again.

[Grant Wootton]

Or, if the ex became famous

Or, if the ex became famous

that is so true hahahaha

Kill her in some weird way that will make world news and have a long drawn out trail. That solves everything, I think.

Then write a book! It could be the biggest piece of rap on the market, but the initial glut wil make it worthwhile to any publisher.
