Description: Commentary by Stanley Wiater, photographs by Beth Gwinn, Introduction by Clive Barker - DARK DREAMERS: FACING THE MASTERS OF FEAR, copyright 2001, published by Cemetery Dance, SIGNED & NUMBERED EDITION #218/250, light grey thread patterned endpapers, black boards with silver gilt lettering to spine & front board with slipcase (published without a dust jacket). "This is a unique collection of images celebrating over 100 of the greatest authors, artists and filmmakers in the world. With each and every amazing photograph -- coupled with insightful commentary by or about the subject -- the photograher and the journalist fearlessly illuminate those who work on the dark side of the arts. Among the authors: Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Clive Barker, Peter Straub, Ray Bradbury, Richard Matheson, John Saul, Joyce Carol Oates, Poppy Z. Brite, Richard Laymon, Jack Detchum, Robert Bloch, Neil Gaiman, Dan Simmons, and dozens of others. Among the Artists: Bernie Wrightson, Gahan Wilson, H. R. Giger, Alan M. Clark, Bob Eggleton, and many more. And, among the filmmakers: Wes Craven, John Carpenter, Frank Darabont, Rick Baker, Stan Winston, Christopher Lee, etc." Also comes with a laid-in Glenn Chadbourne art print. Note - only a very very few copies of the S&N edition came with the lain-in Glenn Chadbourne art print (there were several different art prints). Book has no former ownership markings inside, no creased page corners, no soiling or staining to boards, no bumped board corners, no soiling or staining or dents to slipcase. Overall a N-FINE book in N-FINE condition slipcase of a rare Dean Koontz related Signed & Numbered edition book. I have a number of other U.S. and U.K. Dean Koontz 1st printing hardcover/paperback/magazine appearances up for auction on ebay - just click on the 'see other items' link to the right of the picture. NOTE - MEDIA MAIL ROUTINELY TAKES 3-4 WEEKS (REGARDLESS OF WHAT EBAY MAY SAY - THEY DON'T CONTROL THE POST OFFICE). For U.S. buyers, both priority mail (3-5 days) and media mail (3-4 weeks) shipping options will be listed in the ebay invoice (or if the book is a paperback or small magazine both 1st class mail (5-7 days) and media mail shipping options will be listed in the ebay invoice) - SIMPLY CLICK ON THE BLUE 'OTHER SHIPPING OPTIONS' LINK IN THE INVOICE TO SEE BOTH SHIPPING OPTIONS/COST. DELIVERY CONFIRMATION IS NOT TRACKING (despite what ebay and paypal want to call it - again they don't control the U.S. post office). Delivery confirmation is merely what it says it is - it confirms delivery to prevent fraudulent chargebacks of claimed unreceived items (which is why I don't charge for delivery confirmation in the shipping costs). Also, since I print shipping labels from home (as opposed to purchasing shipping at the post office), the delivery confirmation number IS NOT SCANNED BY THE POST OFFICE AT THIS END. Therefore, in most cases, the first time that the Post Office will show anything when you check the delivery confirmation number is when the package hits your local post office/sorting center (basically the day before its delivered to you). Occasionally (about 25% of the time) a package will get scanned at the Federal Way, WA transfer station, but in the vast majority of the cases the delivery confirmation won't show anything until basically the day before you get the package. I DO COMBINE SHIPPING COSTS FOR MULTIPLE ITEMS WON (if you would like estimates of what combined shipping costs might be for a certain group of auctions, please e-mail me before the auctions close but a very rough estimate is $.50-$1.00 per additional book for media mail, $1.00-$2.00 per additional book for priority mail, and $6.00-$7.00 per additional book for international mail). As for returns -All items are used (not new) books and therefore are sold as-is, which is why I try to provide a fairly detailed description of the item itself (i.e. what it is and what it is not) as well its specific condition, noting any significant defects (for collectible items). Book grades are provided in the posting, however book grading standards/categories very widely from seller to seller, so please do not rely solely on the grade that I have given a book or ebay's provided "condition" box description, without considering the specific condition/defects described for that particular book. I do, on occasion, miss a significant defect in an item or simply make a cut/paste error in the description (i.e. an error in the description from using a prior posting as the "shell" for this book's description), and for collectible items, if that happens, on a case-by-case basis I do issue a full refund (including the cost of return shipping) depending upon the collectible significance of the undisclosed defect.
