Library Additions: Two Signed Manly Wade Wellman Books

Picked up two signed Manly Wade Wellman firsts off eBay to replace unsigned copies:

  • Wellman, Manly Wade. The Kingdom of Madison: A Southern Mountain Fastness and Its People. The University of North Carolina Press, 1973. First edition hardback, a Fine- copy with a trace of dust soiling at head and heel in a Near Fine, corner-clipped dust jacket that will get traded out for the unclipped dust jacket on my unsigned copy. Inscribed by Wellman: “for/Bill Washburn/and/Linda Ocker/Manly Wade Wellman/April 26, 1973.” Non-fiction. Bought for $20 plus shipping off eBay.

  • Wellman, Manly Wade. Not At These Hands. Putnam’s, 1962. First edition hardback, a Very Good+ copy with slight bumping at head and heel, slight wear to spine, and a faint dime-sized stain to page edges, in a Very Good- dust jacket with several small tears which I’ll be trading out with the better dust jacket on my unsigned copy. Inscribed by Wellman: “with best wishes/to/Richard Steele/(read it sometime)/Manly Wade Wellman.” Currey (1979), page 514. Mystery novel. Bought for $34.99 off eBay.
