Ricksneatstuff Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 It always amazes me how great Church books are in person. This finally showed up today.

Straw-Man Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 (edited) it was the last book in a small collection an older fellow [yes, g.a.tor, older than me] had, and his only slabbed book. it was his favorite cover, explaining why it was the last book he kept. he loved it so much that back in '07 he got a local artist [identity unknown to me] to do an oil painting reproduction. with the book gone, he didn't want the painting anymore, so it was thrown into the deal. not great art, but pretty darn cool, especially cuz of the story, Edited July 30, 2017 by Straw-Man Frisco Larson, sacentaur and gino2paulus2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neat find. Unless it's reflections on the slab, looks like that one is in serious need of a press. If you're trying to keep you identity secret, should you be signing as Clark Kent and including (Superman) under the signature just to make sure there's no confusion as to who you are?
