"Tip: Don't pay over the odds for one that's signed. It's a well known fact (by those that know it well) that Robert will sign just about anything put in front of him at any time."
its true read here http://www.sproutlore.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=17832&highlight=#17832
if you go drinking with robert dont fall asleep he carries a thick black permanent marker with him at all times for just such occasions lol
The exception to be noted: Necrophenia proof copies - there's only one of these signed which went for a fair price for charity. Someone did try to get one signed on the launch tour, but ended up getting something else signed instead.
I asked Robert to sign my proof, without too much hope, & he kept true to his word

You'd be surprised just how many people really try to wheedle a signature out of me on one of those proofs. But I am sticking to my promise. I will auction one signed proof copy of Retromancer as soon as I get some.
Is that set to become a tradition or an old charter or something then

Hi JD and Coke. I recently contacted Jacaranda Book Exchange to get a copy of "The Most Amazing Man Who Ever Lived". I was only after the paperback, but the owner mentioned that he had a "collectable" hardback. I'm not sure if it is a first edition, but the price was $100 AUD, so it may well be. He was prepared to sell it to me for $50 AUD if I had wanted it. The contact details are... 1/281 Charters Towers Road, Hermit Park, Townsville QLD 4812 Australia. Phone +61 7 4725 5639. Hope this helps. Mort640.
