Hello! I am looking for the first addition of either of Strike's Total Synthesis books. I have TS2 downloaded, but I would love to add a softcover copy to my collection. Thanks for any help! 🐝🐝
Somebody posted that they had this, and almost immediately deleted their post. I thought of Pietro Aretino but it's actually Leonardo Aretino or Bruni:
So, back 2012 I bought a hardcover copy of The Slab.
When I removed the sleeve over the book I realize the cover had the title of the previous book, which was Coalition's end.the inner page carry the right title: The Slab.
I completly forgot about it, until I got the book out of a storage box after 12 years.
While speaking with a buddy he confirmed that his copy wasn't like that.
So I decided that maybe I should add to the Gears Of War Wiki that the 1st edition of The Slab had some misprint on the cover. But I honnestly can't say that on the wiki, since there is no way for me to confirm it there was few or many of them.
Can any of you help me out to figure if it was a common problem or how to do research on the subject.
I did post on the gears of war fandom site asking if anyone else had the same error and I have yet got an answer.
I did a private short video to show the cover....if it can help somehow. https://youtube.com/shorts/Rm7445IeOWE?si=vBHNkbYU06LaOlDU
Thanks!
I use old battered books for craft projects; I love the character they provide. My sources include local library used book sale, local thrift stores, and discards from friends. Recently while at the local Salvation Army store I noticed a young woman scanning/photographing the inside page(s) of old books with her phone and selecting two for purchase. Does an app exist to determine value of old books? I don't want to become a collector or reseller I merely want to avoid destroying books of value.
