Why do you want to hang on to that one over the rest of these?

well, the hollywood first was a huge find for me when i bought it, since hollwyood is my 2nd favorite of his novels. but, i bought a signed/illustrated on ebay yesterday for what i thought was a good price ($350)... and i had been wanting a signed copy of a novel for a while... they tend to be expensive, and i never wanted to pay $300 or so for a signed copy of a book that was in an edition of 500. but hollywood in an edition of 150 with the print also signed, AND a cool spine cloth, it was too good to pass up. but i don't need the other one anymore, as rare as it is. i didn't really like roominghouse or bone palace that much, but i do like betting on the muse, and i like that i have a first edition of it. when i was considering buying that hollywood copy, my decision calculus was, "what buk books could i live with owning in paperback in order to afford this 'dream' book?" betting on the muse is on the cusp. i'll sell it if i have to, but i'd prefer not to. so there's a little window into my obsessive head (that thought process went on for about an hour and a half)... probably more information than you cared for!
