I hear that if you buy the hundred and fifty dollar book that it has a coupon inside that lets you personally mail it to chuck palahniuk and he'll answer two questions you have for him. One about himself and one about the book.

Thats a mighty rare offer. I thought about buying the book myself cause of it.

hey, did you see THIS? click that link, it'll explain it all - it is an all black book with the sun/moon pattern, a sleeve (and very cheap one at that) and the story at the end, an epilogue of sorts

worth $150? i was a little disappointed, but it is his "first" signed limited (1000) total and could easily triple or quadruple in our lifetime, if you care about that

hmm maybe im retarded but i dont see anything about this "epilogue"

It's a limited printing, and that about sums it up.

[QUOTE=Andrew(Historian);997077]it seems pretty crazy to charge 150$ for it.[/QUOTE]

There's a special afterword called Auto Mechanics or something like that.
Also the book is 7 1/2 feet tall and is made from Muenster cheese

yes that's it - i posted a synopsis somewhere but can't find it

basically it talks about cars, and how his buddy was a gear head and was working on his car in a bad neightborhood and got jacked basically while he was under the car

i'm really surprised it hasn't leaked onto the internet somewhere - i'd post it if i didn't think i'd piss somebody off, and it is a lot to type up

The Rant Limited Edition is specially packaged in a one-piece preprinted case, printed black, with the title created in spot gloss; a 4-color slipcase that matches the original jacket of the trade book; a 1/8" ribbon marker; a signed tip-in sheet, speckled edges; and an exclusive 1300-word "Automotive Afterword" entitled "Recipes for Disasters" which is not available in print anywhere but only in this limited edition.

thanks, wickerman.. that sums it up quite nicely.

It's fairly short. Maybe three pages. A true story, mechanic friend gets trapped under his car in a bad side of town. Like wickercat said. Some nice images, good tension.

Do you think the three page story could possibly be worth 150$, though?

I think the pricetag is more for the overall package; different cover, booksleeve, afterword, whatnot.
It's something for diehard fans and collectors only.
