The theme this week seems to be “firsts I already had, but signed.”
Lafferty, R. A. Slippery and other stories. Chris Drumm, 1985. First edition chapbook original, #115 of 176 signed, numbered copies, a Near Fine copy with a quarter-sized sticker remnant at spinefold near the heel that has discolored the paper. (You know those colored circular stickers you can buy at grocery stores to price things for garage sales? Don’t use those for books.) Supplements an unsigned copy. If I had been collecting Lafferty in the 80s (hell, into the 90s), all the Drumm signed Laffertys could be bought for $5 a pop. Woulda coulda shoulda. This was bought off eBay for $40.
