35 years old and a beautiful copy... Not cheap!

I like Scott a lot. A good guy. I've bought many items from him, but he has lost touch with reality. Do you think he's serious?

 

[saywhat]

Ouch. Did he crack the spine to take the pics?

 

[nymark]

And there's that! Why in god's name would he lie the book down in that fashion to get a pic? It seems like a bad way to handle a valuable title.

Wow, yeah that really wasnt a good idea.
I like the painting. But, is this thing really worth $11,000?

It seems like a bad way to handle a valuable title.

And it seems like he did the same thing with the two other books that he listed with paintings:

Love is a Dog from Hell (Printer's Copy with additional drawing)

I'm hoping that maybe the spines were already like that from when the paintings were tipped in...

I guess you have a 'small' market for that kind of price tag... I don't see it selling 'now', but there will be a day that price was a 'bargain'.
or maybe not!
