    Lightbulb 1st & Signed

    Hi guy's & Gal's, just started reading Necroscope books again. Well i say again about 20 years ago i read the original Necroscope, and i think 3, The Source.
    Was in Waterstones about 3 weeks ago, and came across "Necroscope The Touch" Loved the book very much, and had the desprate need to read the hole Necroscope series.
    Ive got 10 books so far 6 of them are 1st editions and i have 2 signed by Brian Lumley, and i have a hardback copy of "The Lost Years" Volume 1, that is signed by Brian Lumley and George Underwood, who did those amazing graphics for the book's.
    Anyone else collect the books in first editions ? or got any tips were to buy them.
    I got my signed copys off Ebay and my 1st editions.

    I collect Brian's work. I probably have over a 100 Lumley signatures, 1st edition and 1st printing.

    Most of mine are 1st editions where possible, don't know how many are signed, must find the time to log and record them all. Have most of Brian's works, the only one that's missing that springs to mind is House of Doors(1st visit), can anyone help?

    You should try amazon.co.uk they have copies of the house of doors original, published in 1991 so I think it is an original but then again could be wrong(but I don't think so) but the postage costs more then the novel.

    Welcome aboard Horati0.

    I am a collecter but not 1st edition specific, some are and some aren't, almost all are signed though.
    Where's the Derby Dumpling?!

    Exclamation

    Oh there's some shame, all right.

    Not really moving, no, just a few items here and there. Had someone on Craig's List come close to buying almost the entire collection... until he ran it past his wife! Idiot!

    So, yeah, the prices are dropping and the shame is rising...
