KK Chat -- 30 September 2018 Part 2

[DesertRose]

[Sunday, September 30, 2018] [8:56:53 PM EDT] <MerchantDeryni> I just realized my friend has your complete catalog. I may have to go and visit him and browse/beg/borrow/steal
[Sunday, September 30, 2018] [8:57:17 PM EDT] <KK> This would be the original hardback, slipcovered edition.
[Sunday, September 30, 2018] [8:57:30 PM EDT] <DesertRose> The hardback one is going for a price that would buy a decent used car, last I checked.
[Sunday, September 30, 2018] [8:57:59 PM EDT] <Evie> Geez Louise, it must be out of print, since I just looked it up on Amazon and new copies of second edition also cost a mint! But fortunately the used copies are still affordable.
[Sunday, September 30, 2018] [8:58:01 PM EDT] <Shiral> Whew, I think I'll check to make sure my wards on my copy are still intact
[Sunday, September 30, 2018] [8:58:51 PM EDT] <Shiral> I'd say a copy of the second, more complete edition would be a wise bet for you, MD
[Sunday, September 30, 2018] [8:58:56 PM EDT] <Evie> You might also check Half.com or eBay
[Sunday, September 30, 2018] [8:59:33 PM EDT] <Evie> The first edition hardback makes a great collectable if you have the money for it, but for your purposes you'd want the more complete version.
[Sunday, September 30, 2018] [8:59:58 PM EDT] <MerchantDeryni> thanks. Sent an email to my friend telling him to find his copy. I want to look at the maps and anything written. It has been years since I read it.
[Sunday, September 30, 2018] [8:59:59 PM EDT] <Bee> My paperback CodexII is marked $14.95.
[Sunday, September 30, 2018] [9:00:55 PM EDT] <Evie> Yes, that's the original price, I think. By the time I bought mine, I paid about twice that for it, and now Amazon lists new copies for over $100. But you can still buy used copies for that price.
[Sunday, September 30, 2018] [9:01:35 PM EDT] <Evie> And the hardcover first edition is listed at nearly $5000. I nearly choked. :-D
[Sunday, September 30, 2018] [9:01:36 PM EDT] <Shiral> So if you have a Codex, guard it!
[Sunday, September 30, 2018] [9:01:40 PM EDT] <KK> I'll have to check my stash and do some research. I'm sure I could come up with an affordable price. I'll post on the website when I've done that.
[Sunday, September 30, 2018] [9:01:50 PM EDT] <Evie> I mean, I love you, KK, but I draw the line at paying $5K. LOL!
[Sunday, September 30, 2018] [9:02:27 PM EDT] <Shiral> I felt extravagant when I bought a $50.00 copy 20 years ago.
[Sunday, September 30, 2018] [9:02:45 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Well, if I won the lottery or something, I'd spend $5K on a hardback first edition Codex, but seeing as I haven't got anything remotely near that kind of money, it ain't happening!
[Sunday, September 30, 2018] [9:02:50 PM EDT] <KK> Also, e-editions of Lammas Night will be available on sale for all the month of October via the Amazon site for $1.99.
[Sunday, September 30, 2018] [9:03:04 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Oh yay!
[Sunday, September 30, 2018] [9:03:06 PM EDT] <Evie> Cool! I'm reading that one now.
[Sunday, September 30, 2018] [9:03:23 PM EDT] <DesertRose> That means I can read it again, since my mom has my paperback of it and I've been nagging her to read it for I don't even know how long.
[Sunday, September 30, 2018] [9:03:27 PM EDT] <bynw> hard cover codex: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mspk4ghmb3alx6v/2018-09-30-200236.jpg?dl=0
[Sunday, September 30, 2018] [9:03:31 PM EDT] <Evie> It seemed a fitting time of year to start it, and it's one of the few of yours I haven't read yet. (Or if I had, it was so long ago I can't remember anymore.)
[Sunday, September 30, 2018] [9:03:36 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I just *know* she'll love it, if she'd just park her butt down and READ it!
[Sunday, September 30, 2018] [9:03:42 PM EDT] <KK> Whoops, look at the time. GOtta dash, but I'll see you next week at our earlier time of 5 PM EST.
[Sunday, September 30, 2018] [9:04:03 PM EDT] <Evie> Goodnight, KK!
[Sunday, September 30, 2018] [9:04:05 PM EDT] <bynw> have a good night KK, thanks for coming. I'm gonna send you an email btw
[Sunday, September 30, 2018] [9:04:09 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Okay, have a good week, KK, and thanks for coming to see us! I hope LBM's dentist appointment goes smoothly!
[Sunday, September 30, 2018] [9:04:11 PM EDT] <Shiral> I won't be here next time, so have a good week, other than dental troubles for LBM
[Sunday, September 30, 2018] [9:04:28 PM EDT] <Evie> Next Sunday is my parents' anniversary, but they won't be here until 10/10, so I should be at chat.
[Sunday, September 30, 2018] [9:04:48 PM EDT] <DesertRose> How many years, Evie?
[Sunday, September 30, 2018] [9:04:53 PM EDT] <Evie> 57
[Sunday, September 30, 2018] [9:04:55 PM EDT] <Shiral> Dmitri says farewell, KK
[Sunday, September 30, 2018] [9:04:55 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Wow!
[Sunday, September 30, 2018] [9:04:56 PM EDT] <KK> OK, good wek to all. OVer and out.
[Sunday, September 30, 2018] [9:04:58 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Good going to them!
[Sunday, September 30, 2018] [9:05:01 PM EDT] <Bee> I may be late for early chat. bye KK
[Sunday, September 30, 2018] [9:05:14 PM EDT] * KK steps onto her Portal, waves goodnight, and disappears in a shower of green sparkles.
[Sunday, September 30, 2018] [9:05:16 PM EDT] <Shiral> night, KK,
[Sunday, September 30, 2018] [9:05:16 PM EDT] <DesertRose> G'night, KK!
[Sunday, September 30, 2018] [9:05:20 PM EDT] <Evie> Had to stop and think, figure out how old I am, and add a year. :-D
[Sunday, September 30, 2018] [9:05:24 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL
