As part of that same purchase that included some signed Harlan Ellison firsts, I picked up several Easton Press books. I didn’t catalog them until now because I knew wouldn’t be able to file them until I finished staining and gloss coating my new bookshelf. I’m about halfway through that process, but these are pretty much the only library additions left over from 2021 that I haven’t cataloged here yet, so I’m going to do that so I can close out the year.
Bear, Greg. Mariposa. Easton Press, 2009. First edition thus, #412 of 900 signed copies, a Fine copy in embossed leather boards, with certificate of authenticity (also signed by Bear), an unused personalization plate, and an insert card “a note about MARIPOSA and the author GREG BEAR” laid in, sans dust jacket, as issued. Sequel to Quantico (see below).
Bear, Greg. Quantico. Easton Press, 2005. First edition thus, #339 of 900 signed copies, a Fine copy in embossed leather boards, with certificate of authenticity (also signed by Bear), an unused personalization plate, and an insert card “a note about QUANTICO and the author GREG BEAR” laid in, sans dust jacket, as issued.
Bear, Greg. Vitals. Easton Press, 2002. First edition thus, #341 of 1,150 signed copies, a Fine copy in embossed leather boards, with certificate of authenticity (also signed by Bear), an unused personalization plate, an insert card “a note about VITALS and the author GREG BEAR” and a foldout brochure for the Signed First Editions of Science Fiction line laid in, sans dust jacket, as issued. Supplements a hardback first and a proof copy.
Though none of these are true firsts, they are attractive and well-made books, and you don’t usually see them with all the ephemera inserted.
