Bargin find

[Who's Wee Dug]

When in Edinburgh yesterday, I found The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman 1st ed H/C, the one with the Chris Riddle artwork on the cover and it was signed by Chris Riddle, for only £2 in a charity shop.

Canny find!

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

That's two copies I now have, the first one was signed by Niel Gaiman now I just need to catch him at a convetion and get him to sign the other.

Saw the equivelant 1st 1st in a shop in dublin signed by Chris Riddle and they where looking for thirty euros so good find Dug. Have a double signed copy i got when the book was released.

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

Yes I missed it when it 1st came out, went to a reading and signing but it was a ticket only affair and I did not have one, so got it signed at our BFS convention last year in Brighton.

Bloody ticket events.
On Neil Gaimen I just bought another bargain of a book called Fables from The Fountain, a book of short stories dedicated to Arthur C Clarke. Its got 19 stories, one by Neil, another by stephen Baxter and others and its signed by all 19 writers. Cost 20 euro but i still think its a limited run hardback so i think its a great bargain

Good find Pip they only did 200 of those. It's worth about 40 euros.

 

[Who's Wee Dug]
