What I Hate: From A to Z with a Bookplate Signed by Roz Chast

A book containing a signed bookplate isn't quite the same thing as a signed book, is it? Whatever the answer, this 2011 first edition of What I Hate: From A to Z by Roz Chast with a signed bookplate sold for far too little on eBay in June, part of a recent trend of undervalued signed books (and even bookplates) by the artist. Not all of her books are underpriced—far from it—but there are a significant number of inexpensive ones slipping under the radar.


It's a first edition:

A signed bookplate pasted in a book should not be described as a "first edition signed." EBay sellers take note:

Roz Chast: Three Signed Books

Roz Chast surely remains one of the most popular of New Yorker cartoonists. She has high name recognition and a legion of dedicated fans. Yet a recent trend on eBay has been for signed, used books of hers to sell in the region of $10 each. A trio of books, albeit somewhat worn and poorly photographed, sold in July for less than $40, inclusive of shipping. What's going on?

MoCCA Fest 2018: Roz Chast

Cartoonist Roz Chast has been contributing to the New Yorker since 1978. She was a guest of honor at this year's MoCCA Arts Festival. Some eleven pieces of her original art were on display at Metropolitan West. She was interviewed live in front of a very appreciative audience by Gil Roth for his Virtual Memories Show podcast. On Sunday she participated in a panel session. My final acquisition at MoCCA Fest 2018 was a copy of Ms. Chast's What I Hate: From A to Z (2011) which she signed and inscribed to me at the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund table. My work is done here.

Note:  Hamantaschen are pastries made for the Jewish holiday of Purim. Was Ode to Hamantashan ever published and, if so, where?


This week's posts have been devoted to the books and animation art I obtained at MoCCA Fest 2018. I had a great time but I feel I should have bought more.
