Paul Degen: Don't Cry Over Spilled Ink

Six years ago a signed, limited edition of Swiss New Yorker artist Paul Degen's Don't Cry Over Spilled Ink (1985) was sold on eBay for an undisclosed Best Offer somewhere south of $125. With art books, an eBay listing is only as good as its photos and this one, alas, is somewhat lacking. Were there no decent digital cameras back in 2016? Let's not cry over it.

Gahan Wilson: Isaac Asimov's Sherlockian Limericks

A signed and numbered color print by Gahan Wilson (1930-2019) recently made the rounds on eBay, selling for a discounted $63.75. The seller failed to identify the subjects of the print: science fiction author Isaac Asimov (1920-1992) and the ghost of Sherlock Holmes emanating from his lit pipe. The art appeared on the cover of Asimov's Sherlockian Limericks (1978), one of the more than 500 books Asimov wrote and edited on a wide variety of subjects. The edition size of the print is 500, suggesting considerable expected demand.
