This first edition, first printing of 1939 is one of 4730 published in the first printing. Bound in red, "the book's binding has separated from the pages." Flaws include stains, lack of a dust jacket, and several ripped and taped areas. The seller notes the presence of the first printing indicator - "the flaw in the printing on page 234, the second and third lines from the bottom were printed twice." The 8 photos clearly show the wear and rough edges. Despite the flaws, this auction attracted 20 bids, taking it from the $9.99 starting price to meet the reserve and sell for $4,321.71.

A Genesis publication, this limited edition book comes with all the trademark excesses that make the publisher a regular on the Top 10 list. In this case, a goatskin hand-bound book is accompanied by two signed fine art prints, backstage pass, t-shirt, wooly hat, drumsticks and a few other treats. Published in a boxed set that holds all the items. 1 of 500, the work was shown in 3 photos. A German seller with private feedback opened the auction with a GBP 1.00 starting price. After 25 bids, it closed at $2,039.40.

#8 tie offered a copy in excellent condition with light highlighting and no other marks. It contains the unusual comment, "If anyone can prove this is incorrect information, please contact me immediately. I am relatively certain this is the first edition. I have researched on the net, but can't find a photo." Sold by the seller with the lowest feedback percentage in the Top 10 February lists (98.8%), the book is shown in only 1 picture. Six questioners offered their opinions, including the comment, "... are accually rared [sic] to find." Twenty-two bids were received, taking the auction from a $1.99 starting price to $2,024.99. The winning bidder bought #9 two days later, paying the same closing price.

#8 tie was listed by a consignment shop. The seller notes "It is a RED 1st First Limited Edition. 1983.... This is a very low number #832." Shown in three photos, the book is listed in Item Specifics as "new." That's the only indication of condition. After receiving 14 bids, the book sold for the buyer of #8 for $2,024.99. Starting price was $.99.

#10 was sold by the same consignment shop, using the same auction title. This is #1665 and it too is listed as new. The auction included 2 photos. In both the prevous entry and #10, the consignment shop calls the item "a very rare book." That's quite a stretch when 4 copies turn up on the eBay Top 10 list in a single month.
