Important Added Info: Note that this book has been personally autographed (signed) by THIRTY-NINE people: Linda Blair, David Carradine, Herschell Gordon Lewis, Connie Mason, Yvonne Monlaur, Julie Adams, Russ Streiner, John Russo, Kyra Schon, Keir Dullea, Gary Lockwood, Noel Neill, Ray Harryhausen, Kevin McCarthy, Sara Karloff, Basil Gogos, Marilyn Eastman, Karl Hardman, Bill Hinzman, Gunnar Hansen, Ricou Browning, Forrest J.

Griffth, Donnie Dunagan, Janet Ann Gallow, Chris Costello, Gary Conway, Martine Beswick, Geoge Kosana, and Terry Moore! There are 39 different people who signed, and two of the people, Forrest J. Ackerman and Sara Karloff signed twice, so there are 41 different autographs in the book. This book, which is highly prized by horror collectors, was acquired by our consignor when it was published in 1992 (it is a first edition), and starting in 2002, he then embarked on a most unusual project. Between 2002 and 2011, he took the book with him to horror conventions all over the country, and he had celebrities he met there sign by movies they had worked on. So this wonderful book is made even better by these added 41 signatures! Also note that we have pictured the front cover, the title page, and the interior page that shows the publishing information, and many interior 2-page spreads. Note: We have 37 images of the books in this set, but due to a space limitation, only TEN of the 37 images are displayed above. However, there is a "supersize" link to the right of those images that lets you see the other 27. Know that we are not "autograph experts"! We strongly suggest that all bidders do whatever research they want to do about the autographs BEFORE placing bids (such as comparing the signatures to other known signatures found on the Internet). But we also know how hard it is to be certain of an autograph's authenticity when you are not seeing the item in person. So, to make certain that we only have satisfied buyers, we will give anyone who purchases any of these a 30 day return privilege (from the date the auction closes) on any of these autographed items, and of course, that gives every buyer plenty of time to be 100% certain that they have purchased a genuine autograph! But realize that you can't return items AFTER 30 days (from the auction's closing), so be sure to do whatever checking and authenticating you need to do either before the auction ends, or within the 30 days. Condition: very good to fine. This first edition book is in its original dust jacket (and the price has not been clipped). It has a protective sleeve over the dust jacket.
