Yep, it's an original. The exclamation marks are a dead giveaway!!!!

Now to contact the lady and see if she'll sell anymore of her signed books... She claims her friend, Lisa, was friends with Ed back when he was still going to Gencon every year and they use to play with him every year including going out for dinner with him and his wife as her health deteriorated and she stopped attending the convention but was still traveling with him.
Two notes:
First is that if this is the Lisa I believe it to be, she may indeed have a great many of books signed by Ed. She may not be willing to part with them (I don't speak for anyone, of course), but that Lisa would have a few at least, to be sure.
Second, and I say this from some years of friendship with Ed, is that there does not seem to be any 'was' about his friendship; he is a fast and enduring friend, even when time, commitments, and distance keep from those he cares about. |

| This lady claims to be Lisa's friend and met Ed many times through Lisa. I didn't mean to say was as if they weren't friends anymore, the story was just in past tense, I should have worded it differently. This lady has a few of Lisa's signed copies apparently but most of the other books she mentioned that are signed that she might be selling her and her husband both have copies signed. She's selling her books because she has multiple copies of many of them and she's only selling the extra copies she has. Out of what she had in her van last Sunday this was the only signed book in the whole lot but she said she might have more at home she is getting rid of that might be signed. She was a little frustrated that none of the game stores around the DFW metroplex she had visited or called would even consider buying the books from her and that translated into our conversation. It was a good chance meeting and she sold me this book and one other for $10 less than I offered her. |
