Three more purchases from that private collector that I hadn’t cataloged and shelved yet because I had run out of bookcase space. But I recently finished staining and finishing two more book cases, so now I can finish cataloging that purchase.
Powers, Tim. The Anubis Gates. Mark V. Ziesing, 1989. First edition thus, part of the signed, limited edition of 500, but lacking a number and a slipcase, a Fine- copy in a Fine- Mylar-protected dust jacket with slight bend at head. Berlyne, A4h.2, who notes that Ziesing says many slipcases were destroyed in a flood. Chalker/Owings (2002), page 1000, who says Ziesing had an overrun of slipcases. Supplements an inscribed PBO first, an inscribed Chatto & Windus first hardback, a slightly flawed copy of the Centipede Press limited edition, and the holograph manuscript copy included in the ultralimited edition of the Berlyne bibliography.
Powers, Tim. Declare. Morrow, 2001. First trade edition hardback (preceded by the Subterranean Press limited edition), a Fine copy in a Fine Mylar-protected dust jacket, signed by Powers. Berlyne, A11b. Supplements a copy of the Subterranean Press limited.
Powers, Tim. Earthquake Weather. Legend, 1997. First edition hardback, a Fine copy (though with the characteristic page darkening for Legend books of this era) in a Fine Mylar-protected dust jacket, signed by Powers. Berlyne, A10a (who notes that reportedly only 800 copies were produced). Replaces an unsigned copy.
