Hello Everyone,
While I have been following 'The Collector' for a few years, this is my first post.
In 30 years of reading SK I never ran into one like this. Yesterday I spent 15 minutes trying to find Scribner's email address....but that must be top secret.
Have you seen a copy like this or any ideas?
Thanks from a new member,
Foster

Re: Is this an ARC?
I would say it's an ARC. Are you interested in selling it?

Hi John,
I have a couple of ARCs and they state clearly: Advance Readers Copy....Not For Sale. This doesn't.
I couldn't guess what would be a fair price, so I am going to hang on to it.
Thanks,
Foster

That looks exactly like the ones I printed out and sold years ago.

Re: Is this an ARC?
You may have printed and sold these, wow. Why...because the larger font makes it easier to read? Do you recall how many you put together?
I have a background in the printing industry and know what would have been involved. Unless it was a proof or ARC it just seems like an odd thing to print. But if you sold out, there was a demand.

I printed them out on the office colour laser printer and then ring bound them. I cost me nothing except my time. They are A4 size because I'm in the UK.

Mystery solved....thanks!
In case you were wondering I bought it in New York City.

Ok,
I am very curious to know how long ago you made these, how many and how much you we're selling them at the time? How much would it be worth today?

Rabbit- Did you really print these up? Because, at first, I thought you were ribbing the poster.

Re: Is this an ARC?
Yes, I printed 10 I think. The date would be around 2005. I cannot remember what I sold them for, but it would be less than £10.
