Proof Query
Posted: Fri Dec 10, 2010 6:15 am
Hi team,
If any of you have read some of my previous posts, you may have gathered I'm pretty much just a 1st edition and Gift edition collector. The only S/L I (will) have is Blockade Billy.
My query is in regard to proof copies, as I gather these are very collectable for obvious reasons.
The question I have is, are proof copies often different at all from the final publication? I have never read a proof, but it seems to me they may be different from the final edition? if so, are they often very different? or are they usually a fair representation of the final story?
Just curious, as I'm starting to consider collecting these, but am more interested if they are worth reading for a different view point than the regular edition.
Thanks
James
