Re: Not the Bob Read Book...
Any idea if the Bob Read book is actively being produced or simply on the “we’ll get to it someday list”???

Re: How to set pricing?
Tell us what the item is. I bet lots of know alls here will tell you what it is worth. Or maybe there are people here who can provide guidance as to where to look. Or whom to ask about it. For example, I know an individual who has a complete collection from P&L. He is, imo, an expert and can te...

I don't need a lawyer to make him and Simonn and Schuster suffer. You are absolutely right.

Re: Houdini--the Key
I don’t know either of these authors. However, I am curious, isn’t there a chance that he just remembered it wrong? A lie is, by definition, the intent to deceive. Why would he lie about what he paid for the book? It’s an expensive book either way. Obviously he might very well have lied. But, not kn...

There would have been nothing complicated about typing in all the new material and then inserting it into the original text where it should have been properly placed according to Martin's wishes.......
Or producing it timely. Or including what was promised. Or communicating with buyers.

At least he responded to you. Maybe you could ask him when he intends to ship these to everyone.

There should be some explanation.

He did ultimately deliver but I will never preorder anything from the Miracle Factory. With...

Re: I see the guy has lowered his price on his Andruzzi collection.
I wonder about some of those eBay prices. I think some are run up by shills and then later cancelled. You wouldn’t know it was cancelled. I may be wrong but some of the completed prices make no sense whatsoever. If Juan had signed it in blood it wouldn’t be worth 1600.
