I need UK WCB, CC and CP. Trade or sell.

hey, wickerman.. i dont believe that baer or clev have hard covers in the uk. same with most of chuck's books. the only one i have is the contortionists handbook because i hate the us softcover format--big and flimsy, hard to hold and read. i love the uk edition softcovers because of size, but the shipping is just so fuckin expensive.

wish i had more intel to offer. but im not a collector so much as i am a gatherer. good luck.

There are no UK WCB's, to my knowledge.

I wish I could help. How do I know if something's first edition or not?

CC had UK. A first will say 123456789 or 135798642 or something on the copyright page, with the 1 being the important thing - also there must be a price on the dust jacket

what are THESE then? they're not UKs

. .

i belive the first one is UK via penguin, back in 98

the second, i cant remember whether UK or US

the third is macadam/cage hard cover, US--i had this, gave it away a year later
-i fucking loathe hard covers for the reading aspect. maybe i shoulda kept it, but most people enjoy reading hardbacks..

the forth is the first first US soft cover, penguin/viking--this is the one i have..

Well apparantly there are then.

Both my editions of the Handbook and Dermaphoria say 1, and then nothing else. They're paperback and have the extended parts in the back, Essays - Fugitive Tendancies, Stranger in a Gray Hat, Establishing the Rules of the Game and Black Notebooks, as well as If You Liked This... and Craig's top ten books, which I think I posted in the intensive too. They're not in mint condition. Well read, people call them. But if you want them then I'll swap them for a bottle of vanilla coke, which is impossible to get over here anymore. :wink:
Your call though, I wouldn't blame you if you said no.

i didnt know that the UK Derm released with extras in the back. is it the same extras as the handbook or very different ?

if different, ill trade you something juicy for that derm. name it. and wear or none, i mangle my books so the condition needs to be readable and im no more picky than that-

unfortunately can't know if they are first editions - ebay is good for that, the amazon used is a mixed bag - well, that's half the fun, tracking them down - i actually didn't realize that WCB had so many versions out there, not to mention the Italian, French, and Spanish

The Contortionist's Handbook is out in Russian too now.

sweet - man it is going to be hard to track these down

Well, here is WCB in PDF - all the covers and info I have. If you have more info, or pics or anything let me know.

Thanks,
Richard

SO...I'm still looking for foreign editions of Palahniuk, Clevenger and Baer. Let me know if you have any. Will buy or swap. Thanks.

Peace,
Richard
