This collection includes the following 177 Signed Easton Press hardcover books, all bound in genuine leather. All books are signed by the author and a good chunk of them (maybe 1/3 to 1/2) are also first editions. Most of the books (probably 3/4) include a certificate of authenticity (COA) and the Easton Press "Note About the Author" card. They are currently resting in cardboard boxes, ready to be picked up and loaded into a car. If I had the time and bandwidth to list and photograph each of these and sell them individually on eBay, I could make $15-20k, but, alas, I need to get these out of my house asap! Please note that the images above are only of a select few of the collection, and the vast majority aren't pictured. Refer to the list below to see every title. I am open to offers.
