What Music They Make
« on: February 01, 2018, 10:59:36 PM »
Jim Gresham's newest book is out and available. Titled "What Music They Make," this is the latest publication from J Gresham, containing many unbefore seen LC and posters (according to the author's description).

It looks like another fine poster book.  thumbsup.gif clap clap

Listed at $129.99

Very true.

To be honest, I'm not understanding the $130.00 price tag at all, either.

I wrote and asked Jim about the book cost.

He explained that self publishing costs, paying an assistant/researcher to gather and take the photos and his costs to gather much of the imagery had added up to a pretty penny.

But he also reminded me that when his first 2 books were initially released and available for purchase ("Children of the Night" and "They're Here Already"), the purchase price for those were $119.00 and $99.00

In looking to see if Gresham's book was also on Amazon (it is but currently out of stock), I happened to see that his second book, published in 2011, entitled They're Here Already, is being sold for. Available from only 2 sellers on Amazon, I almost fell over at what each is asking for their F/S copies:  faint2.gif

So $129.00 for the new book doesnt seem all that high, now.

Some Amazon sellers are dreaming... you can also get it there for less than 80 bucks! 8)

His first book, Children of the Night, Ive see for a much lower price, too, but not the 2nd.

Could you post an Amazon link for his second book?

One seller has Children for $68.77

In checking, all the other shown copies are well over $100.00, with the top priced copy of Children being just over $4540.00!! (at least as is showing on Amazon US). Yikes!!

There’s a copy of Children... on eBay UK for £19.99!

And the second book They’re Here Already for $120 or best offer on eBay US.

So I wouldn’t think anyone will actually pay thousands for it :)

Always good to hunt around and look at various book sellers, for used (new) or OOP editions, and then decide on price based on condition, etc.

Jim Gresham also has a little link/website for his most recent book. It can be bought directly from him, here, too.
