What an insensitive asshat. Octadecaphobia is a crippling affliction that ruins lives. It's outrageous that he would exploit the legacy of those who suffer and their families for his own glory.

"I gave this book one star 'cos I dropped it in the bath when reason' it and now none of them pitchers looks like him anymore. he's all swolled up and dee-faced."

I always discount reviews like that when reviewing products. There's always a few (as GD put it "asshats") out there that don't know what they are talking about.

I'm not collecting much in the way of Valentino lately, there was a fabulous signed photo I dearly wanted, placed a bid and was overbid. I know who won it, so at least I know where that is. Today, however, I scored a bargain and a cool item, a copy of Valentino's book Day Dreams, the copy he gave to his sister. My cheese is happy!

How this left the family collections is anyone's guess.

Very nice! :snap:

Wow, that's crazy! Must have been worth a pretty penny.

I think I'd hate to have penmanship that good. So much pressure to make the words worthy of it.

Some of the best handwriting I've ever seen has come fellows in prison.

The book arrived today, nice clean signature, looks like he inscribed it yesterday. It was, CP, in reality, a good price and a pretty penny. :D Consider the rarity ('ve seen 3 signed copies of this book in 30+ years), it was given by him to his sister and in pretty good to very good condition for the age. It was a nice investment and I could probably sell it for twice what I paid.
