Chris,
I'm merely an idiot. Yes, it was the 1980 convention that had Vance as GoH, and that book was sans DJ (and limited to 100 copies.) This is the 1981, with DJ, but "limited" to 1000 copies. Vance either attended in 1981, or the book was signed by him later.
I'm still going to bid on the 1981 book, because it's also signed by some other of my favorite authors.

: I noticed that the book you mentioned a couple of days ago on the main page, the Book of the 7th World Fantasy Convention, was listed in the eBay auction info as having two DJs included. That got me thinking, since the only copies of the U/M book from the convention that had Jack as the GoH that I have seen were sans DJ. I think the con that he was at was the 6th World Fantasy Convention in 1980. Therefore, the book listed in the auction is not the U/M book with all of the associated Vance content, but the next year's book with a Vance signature for some reason. Am I mistaken, or is there something about the 1981 book that I have managed to miss?
