Snow Crash (Neal Stephenson) book cover art 0

[Sideshow Bob]

Not comic art, but rarely do you see Sothebys jump into the space these days with book cover art. But when its the cover and manuscript to Snow Crash, arguably the book that launched the idea of a meta-space, my pulse quickens.

Already at $65k and closing this afternoon... but given the prescient nature of the book and it's importance to geeks like me, this wall-power cover should crack $100k easily. Anyone else excited to see this? Sadly, it's past my max bid at this point.

At $420k, plus the juice....and still going.... yikes!

Closed at $450k, with the juice that's $571,500....wow!

For that price it should come with booze instead of juice! 
 

congrats Bob!

Not my win, or my sale. Just a fan of the book and the author. Congrats to both the buyer and seller though!
