Recently I discovered that a copy of
one of my early poetry chapbooks is available for sale through a
couple of online rare/out-of-print bookselling sites. It's listed
variously as a "signed first edition" and as "collectible."
At first I was highly amused to see my work classified in such ways,
but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that the
descriptions are accurate. The bookiscollectible; it is not
available in brick-and-mortar stores or even on my website. |
