I e-mailed Majordomo about these books after his last auction. I would not buy anything from him. One word description about this man is "RUDE"!!!!!

Other than the Limited Edition being signed and numbered 1-500, what the heck is the difference? The Trade Edition looks exactly like the Limited Edition. Same number of pages and photos, same size, and bound exactly alike. I'm ordering the trade and keeping the extra 250 in my pocket...

In addition to the Limited Edition being signed and numbered it also was leather bound and included a leatherette slipcase. Whereas, the Trade Edition is cloth bound and only the pre-publication purchasers of the Trade Edition received a slipcase.

$500 for the Limited Edition is an extremely good price considering the fact that $500 was the the price when there were plenty of them available. It is a collectors item today and if still in mint condition it should command a considerably higher price.... IMHO

Allen, I agree - The trade edition is a great value and inside the covers it is exactly the same as the Ltd. Ed.
