In Reply to: Vance inscriptions vs. autographs posted by Mike Berro on June 27, 1998 at 14:50:30:
: I ran across an inscribed later printing of The Dying Earth on ebay; the inscription says "Thanks for the great ideas. Jack Vance". It got me to thinking that I rarely see an inscription from him, he usually just signs. Is that not true?
I contacted the person selling the book (too late to buy it alas)to ask the significance of the inscription (like were they best buddies or what). She said her husband wanted more than just a signed book and asked Jack to sign it that way.
