Five stories are omitted, including "Interim" and "The Maiden", both of which were collected only in the Arkham House edition of Dark Carnival. So it's kinda not the real thing.

Nonetheless, I have one.

Just snagged myself a signed/numbered copy of Gauntlet's DARK CARNIVAL. Color me happy.

How much? (Ball park figure.)

Congratulations anyhow!

More than I would've liked to pay; less than the dealers on ABE and Biblio are asking.

Wonderful!

Number 3. Wow!

Yeah, I was pretty pleased it was such a low number. As you can see, it doesn't have the optional publisher's beveled slipcase w/ attached art, as shown here:



...but it does have a plain one that fits it well and protects it. The important thing, though, was of course the book itself, and on that point it looks brand-new and its tight binding affirms its unread status.

It's not going to stay unread for long, though.
