They are generally given to the author for personal use or distributed as perhaps comps or freebies. Does it add to the value? If signed by hte author, perhaps; otherwise, I wouldn't think so. Just my opinion.

The only thing I'm not sure of is that on the front cover it says "Presentation Edition". Can anyone tell me what that means? Thank you.

I read 'Bulldozer' as a youngster in one sitting - it spoke so much more than the words on the page let on! Funny thing is, I didn't really grasp how much Meader's yarn resonated with me, how deeply the values it projected, until old enough to look back at the years past & truly reflect.<br /><br />And I've never been happier than rebounding from the dotcom bust, landing in the seat of a backhoe - and later pushing granite in a local quarry on a D6 on the graveyard shift.<br /><br />Those jobs didn't last long enough - I now renovate apartments & foreclosed houses. But I too will own and push dirt with a tiny little D2 before I breathe my last.<br /><br />webguydave in Gilroy, CADavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08635781603326690837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2045845679444796608.post-66818120110704040142010-03-13T14:13:02.405+00:002010-03-13T14:13:02.405+00:00No book has had a more profound effect on my life ...No book has had a more profound effect on my life than this one. Reading it as a teenager, it ignited an entrepreneurship and mechanical interest spark which have remained ever since, which I attribute to having gone into business for myself many years ago. It took years to find a copy prior to the advent of the internet, but once found, it became a cherished possession. It is still a thrill to read, evoking all those same sentiments it did years ago. I too vow to buy and restore a D2 before i go. I know where one sits at this moment.
