Rieccomi qua. Riposata e pronta a ripartire!
Da settembre, oltre alle consuete rubriche come lo "scaffale dei rari" o quella dedicata all'analisi delle cosiddette "prime" di un certo autore, introdurrò anche qualche post ad indagare il panorama estero del collezionismo librario, in prevalenza americano e britannico.
Mi sto documentando in merito a valutazioni, libri su altri libri e siti online dedicati al collezionismo librario fuori dall'Italia.
A titolo di curiosità - e per iniziare bene! - inserisco qui le prime tre opere pubblicate dal romanziere americano Paul Auster, i cui esemplari riuniti assieme e muniti di rinvio autografo sono valutati dai librai intorno ai 2000 dollari. La prima ad essere pubblicata fu City of Glass, a cui nello stesso anno seguirono le altre due.
Il successo dell'opera fu immediato, in parte anche per la scelta dello skyline, che può sembrare banale ma risulta di sicuro impatto.

In Italia le tre opere usciranno l'anno successivo in un unico libro, sotto il titolo Trilogia di New York, di cui scrissi in uno degli ultimi post. A questo proposito voglio rivedere il mio giudizio in merito: in realtà l'edizione non è così diffusa come pensavo e al momento non è possibile reperire una copia.
Buona caccia!
Here I am again! Rested and ready to start again!
From September on, besides the usual columns like "shelf of the sought after books" or the one dedicated to the so-called author's "firsts", I'm going to introduce some new posts about book collecting around the world, especially in America and Great Britain.
At the moment I'm researching book valuations, books about books and websites about book collecting outside Italy.
Just to begin with a good thing, I want to suggest these three Paul Auster's first editions that, if signed, are estimated by booksellers around 2000 dollars.
The first to came out was City of Glass, then in the same year followed the other two.
The success of the work was immediate, partly thanks to the choice of the skyline, which may appear banal, but that has a sure impact.
In Italy the three books were published a year after in only one book, with the title Trilogia di New York, about which I wrote in one of my latest posts.
Speaking of which I want to reconsider my position about: actually the edition it's not so diffused as I thought. In fact at the moment it is not possible to find a copy of it.
Good hunt!
