(Each one has all the pages, is legible, and all that. It is just that some were "hurt" in shipping, others have manufacturing oddities.) The "Z" series (hurt books) had 12 copies and each sold for around $20 (plus shipping). The "Y" series (manufacturing oddities -- mainly a front cover that is visibly longer than the back cover) has 17 copies and the first auctions will start in about a week. The Y series is the last of it, and in a month or two they should be all gone. =mantis= Sirius Fiction booklets on Gene Wolfe, John Crowley http://www.siriusfiction.com/ eBay Auctions http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&userid=mr.sirius --- ### Jeff Wilson *12 Apr 2003, 23:36 · follows Michael Andre-Driussi* > From: > Michael Andre-Driussi > The "Z" series (hurt books) had 12 copies and each sold for around $20 > (plus shipping).

(thank you, by the way, belated though it is!)

More like yours is the annonymous ancestor to all the others, the first to escape the "to burn box"! (I really was going to destroy them, as you know -- it is just my soft heart and the terrible sense of waste that kept me receptive to another way, and eBay auctions seem to be perfect.) That was before the taxonomies of Z and Y were discovered. OTOH, it is possible for a given book to have both symptoms, it is just that the Y is dominant for determining whether a book is Z or Y. =mantis= Sirius Fiction booklets on Gene Wolfe, John Crowley http://www.siriusfiction.com/ eBay Auctions http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&userid=mr.sirius ---
