For some reason I don't believe in the growth potential of the Grove editions, although it was a Grove that the artist Prince suppoosedly paid circa $300K for. Maybe it is rising due to Francophobia! I could be wrong but ABE dealers aren't 'getting' the price but charging it, a vital difference (ABE is full of ambitious, often deluded pricing)--the surest test is Ebay prices, that's what people are actually paying. Must check them but they are probably much more modest. My feeling is that a box of Digit paperbacks of Junkie is unlikely to surface unless someone finds a paperback shop that 'went dark' in the 1950s and was then sealed off-- a sort of time capsule. I have seen about 10 of them over the years but only owned it once--it is not easy esp in superior condition--however WSB was a fairly easy touch when it came to signing. I prefer the Olympia of 'Lunch' and in fact I am tring to sell a very nice one at circa $1500 on ABE without a flicker of interest so far. <BR/><BR/>Just looked on Ebay one not very nice unsigned jacketed copy of the Grove went through at $180 last week and a much nicer copy at $451 with an interesting note --'The Grove edition is substantially different from the Olympia Press edition and is based on an earlier 1958 revision of the text that Allen Ginsberg had in his possession...'

Unsigned copies are posted for $1500 in fine condition. Signed copies are getting close to $3000-4000 on Abebooks. Due to the print run (granted not small at 3500) could it challenge the Olympia title? This seems crazy but prices for the Grove Press signed seems to be rising. Also I would like to see your thoughts on the Digit Junkie. How rare is this book really? How many have you seen over the years. A truly beat copy got $2750 (cover and pages separated but intact; repair possibilities i guess on ebay to a dealer and it was flipped. A signed copy sold for $9000 and that was flipped for close to double. What are the chances for a box of Digit Junkies turning up?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
