A first edition of Robert Jordan’s Eye of the World I picked up a bit ago. Still looking for the Great Hunt to complete the collection. For those looking outside of the number line I posted the relevant things to ensure it’s correct (hollow spine title text, price on jacket).
I missed a 1st/1st of the Great Hunt by a day about 4 weeks ago. There are a couple for sale right now but are either in terrible condition or have a clipped jacket. A signed one is a great pick up!
Sorry, I’m not.
Just sold a BCE and 1st/1st on ebay, but the condition was far worse than this copy!
Holy
Seems like there are very few legitimate listings of the hardcover first on vialibri - I'm curious what the market value on one of these would be. I can't say I'm a huge fan of Jordan's writing (I listened to the first 2.5 books as audio books on a road trip several years ago and his prose was just unread/listen-able for me in the end), but I'm always interested in books like this with a rabidly passionate fanbase and very limited first edition runs.
At this point, post show running on Amazon (a very divisive show but definitely an expanded audience now), a decent condition is going in the 1200-2000 range. Signed copies are obviously more. In fairness that top range I’ve seen listed not sold, so that end may come down a bit.
Edit: too to top.
Very nice! I love the Wheel of Time. I am only missing The Eye of the World and The Great Hunt in 1/1s to complete my collection.
I love The Wheel of Time. I also have a 1st/1st of The Eye of the World and a signed 1st/1st of The Great Hunt.
