      Awesome set of books!

        121 is one I really want to add to my collection one of these days. Preferably in paper, but e-book is fine too - it takes up less space, but doesn't really have the same feel to it - know what I mean?

        Also, I too love the look of the Crimson Guard books.

        Haven't had many recent purchases myself - waiting for some deals, and trying to save some cash. Plus, have a few pre-orders, and a decent amount of books I have to read still.

            Here's the "orange" proof (one of about 200 copies). Yeah, I know I posted this above, but I want to keep them all together.:



            Here's the "blue" proof (one of about 50 copies):



            And the in-house proof (one of about 20 copies):

                  They weren't, but they weren't as expensive as this guy wants:

                    That was the price that popped into my head.

                      I wonder how much was offered. He's declined two so far.

                        I would price the set at between $800 and $1000 at the most.

                            That's more reasonable.

                              That's crazy - I don't think I would spend that kind of cash (whether or not I had it) on something. With all due respect to those who collect whatever it is they collect, but for me I just couldn't justify it. I seriously couldn't think of anything off the top of my head that I would spend that kind of money on as a collectible/showcase type of item.

                                TJ makes a valid point. I think all of us have had to grapple with the cost of buying our books. I’m frankly astounded at the prices that G.R.R. Martin’s Subterranean Press/Meisha/Merlin books are commanding, especially in this economy. Every collector has to make that call for themselves. I will owe up to laying out about $500.00 (the most I've ever spent on a book) for Savage Tales of Solomon Kane (Limited Edition) Wandering Star, with a truly fantastic Remarque. I’m sure to some folks think I really over paid, but for me, though it was well above what I would consider reasonable, I consider it a great deal for a pretty unique item. I guess all you can do is try to budget and TRY not to go over the cliff!
