I can beat silverlake's current offer.... but I would like to see some photos of the book. hey, starting at $400 isn't cheap, you know, it's like an investment piece.
That "Works" has a lot of big b&w shots with a lot of black surfaces, so... any random finger prints?

I don't know whether you guys know this or not, but last week Thnking Architecture (1st ed. yeah, that red one) was sold for $153 on ebay. I was going to jump on bidding, but for some reason that auction was ended earlier than it said... made me freaking mad.

Who signed the S, M, L, XL? Koolhaas, Mau, or both? I see the first ed. is currently going around $150, how much for the signed copy? Is it mint?

Do you mean the Zumthor is signed also?

they've got a reserve price ($456 and it's not there yet ..)
and they quote amazons used book price of around $3000. just because amazon dealers set that price doesn't mean people are buying. how much would you pay?

Rem signed my copy of SMLXL in pink paint marker and upside down. The story alone makes it priceless.
