All of these books were bought at Half Price Books, and the majority of them came from the Karen Meshcke/Fred Duarte collection(s).
Other signed books I bought there will be available in the next Lame Excuse Books catalog.

The Signed Harlan Ellison Buying Spree continues apace, this time with a book that I didn’t realize had a hardback state when it came out:
Ellison, Harlan. Troublemakers. Edgeworks Abbey/iBooks, 2001. First edition hardback, #20 of 500 signed, numbered copies (via a signature plate tipped in on the FFE), a Fine copy, sans dust jacket, as issued. Short story collection. Evidently both trade paperback and hardback were issued in October of 2001, so no precedence that I can find, and the hardback state isn’t in the Locus database. Bought off eBay for $57.50.
iBooks was an odd operation. One of the many projects of book packager Byron Preiss, they did a burst of decent quality trade paperback POD reprints in the 1999-2006 timeframe, trailing off after Preiss’ death in 2005. Troublemakers is one of the few original titles they did, and one of the few hardbacks.
