OK, if you ever wanted to own a first edition of China Mieville's Iron Council, I've listed mine on ebay.

There's minor sun damage on the spine, but it's otherwise in great condition.

There‘s a bunch of book thieves going around prestigious #libraries and swapping #Pushkin #FirstEditions for (so the library officials say) high quality facsimiles. The @stabi_berlin
has been targeted , also national libraries in Poland and the Baltic states.
It’s a wild story, and the forgers’ skills seem to be very remarkable.

I've got a book handling quandary.

I love used books, whether HC or PB -- they show signs of love and affection, and I buy them when I can.

However, I also have several first edition HC's which are inscribed by the authors, which I keep pristine -- I put them on a shelf, almost untouched, and read the ebook versions instead

How do others handle this? Do you handle and love your first editions, or do you preserve them and love the PB/EB versions?

How cool is this?!

Possibly my last #bookmail of 2022, and LOOK AT THEM! Both #FirstEditions from 1996, both in excellent condition. I'm in love!

•The Regulators by 'Richard Bachman'
•Desperation by Stephen King

Thanks goes to @generalsheenanigans, without whose awesome #shelfies of her magnificent #Horror #BookCollection I wouldn't have known they existed🙌
