Popular Post Ricksneatstuff Posted December 21, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 21, 2018 (edited) Not romance but one of Baker's best. Easily a top 10 Baker for me. Really happy to pick up this really pretty white page copy from a boardie.

If I knew it'd end in this range, I might've given more serious thought to trying for it. I was sure it wouldn't go for less than $1200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is anything like the other books he had posted, I'd guess the paper quality is poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed it or it would definitely have gone higher. Whatever problems it might have, it would have been a big upgrade over my copy. Strange that the seller neglected to include Baker's name in the listing title. Cost himself some dough. pmpknface 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given there are only three copies on the census (one being my wreck of a copy), it had the potential to go well above $1,200 if the seller had had the brains to put "Baker" in the listing.

I guess there is, if you happen to have a copy of "The Art of Glamour". Online, I don't think so. It would be a pretty short list, in any event.

I love the Texan 8 and think its way underrated...it should labeled as an "abduction cover" right? This copy was probably the best looking I've ever seen, though it was still plagued with the horrible tanning this issue so often has. Additionally it had some back cover staining and what, according to a boardie I asked, looked like it might be a tear seal on the lower left corner of the back cover...I dunno, don't really consider myself an expert in spotting those from scans. The seller didn't have the best looking feedback anyway, so as much as I love 8... I decided to let this one go, not that I'd have gone up to 1k for it anyway raw.
