Songs of Giants - The Poetry of Pulp

Saw this on Kickstarter thanks to ChrisLAdams and it arrived yesterday:

Charles, fantastic!  Glad you got it.  Mine arrived this week, as well.  

Mine is #147.  What is that odd-ball number you have?  Did you score an early bird?

As I recall, you jumped on the Kickstarter like a duck on a june bug, while I forgot it temporarily, before finally getting a reminder email which prompted me to act.

I made a comment about the book on Facebook and Mark Wheatley gave me a thumbs up!

I'm not sure...it reads 19AP/50 of 1000, so far as I can tell. It's usually better for me to act fast before I forget, so I did go in early.

[ChrisLAdams]

I may holler at Mark W and ask. He should know.

Mark's doing the overall design for the Foundation books that are due to be reprinted in paperbacks so that'll be nice to look out for.

Thanks for the heads up, Terry!

Charles, a fellow member on For the Love of All Things Edgar Rice Burroughs cleared up the number mystery.

"This is #19 of 50 Artist's Proof editions which the artist receives as a payment for the project. These are in addition to the standard numbered edition of 1000 so a total signed edition of 1050."

Thank you sir, interesting.

Yessir.  You did well there, Charles. 

1/50 vs 1/1000.  Not bad, my friend.

Charles, just saw this reply from Mark Wheatley on the For The Love of All Things Edgar Rice Burroughs Facebook group:

"Richard, you are correct! The artist proof edition also includes an original sketch on the title page. This was a higher level reward in the kickstarter campaign."

[charleshelm]

Thanks. It had been a while and I had forgotten exactly what I signed up for...but you can see the sketch in my picture above. I appreciate your help.
