The Complete Far Side Leather-Bound Set (Signed Limited Edition) Gary Larson
Sold
This journey around limited editions, numbered editions and deluxe editions encompasses photography, cartoons and comics, the politics of former US president George W. Bush, the quirky art of film director Tim Burton, the memorable music of reggae legend Bob Marley and rocker Patti Smith, the pugilism of Muhammad Ali, the lyrical words of Ted Hughes and Wilfred Owen, and fiction.
Some of these special books had print runs of less than 50 copies – their scarcity makes them very desirable. There are examples of beautiful work from fine presses, such as Arion Press in California and Sarob Press in Wales, alongside mainstream publishers who have printed limited editions to appeal to die-hard fans and collectors alike. Some of these rare books are also signed.
One thing is for sure – these rare editions won’t be available forever. Get them while you can.
