Flatsigned books by Frank Herbert are precious. But what about books sold/auctioned off INSCRIBED/PERSONALIZED to someone? Anyone here doesn't mind adding those to his/her collection? I happen to have bought a used, tattered copy The Book of Frank Herbert a few days ago from this thrift shop in NYC; I needed a reading copy. Lo, and behold! When I got home and opened to the title page, it was signed! Unfortunately, it's inscribed to someone named Mark.
I was thinking of selling it after I'm done enjoying the 10 short stories. Do signed books inscribed to anyone have a market as far as FH books are concerned?
Anyone here doesn't care about an inscribed/personalized book as long as it has Frank Herbert's signature? Lemme hear your thoughts, ya'll!

I agree with your opinion - flatsigned copies are more precious. But inscribed copies also have their value. I have luckily purchased two first editions copies of Dune inscribed for Michael. And I'm Michael too  Also I have 3 Legends of Dune inscribed for famous person.

That's pretty awesome. Few people have two inscribed DUNE books by Frank. Let alone two first editions.

And Heretics of Dune is very odd because it has 2 inscriptions and 2 autographs of Frank - they are identical on two separate pages. |
Hmm. Never heard of him ever doing that before.
