Rare books?

[Ordinary Mayo]

As I try to expand my collection on the book side, I just ask myself the question of a rarity or quality (list) for them. Peepholism, ok but then?
Have anyone some hints for rare printworks gems?

2) Peep (Soft)
3) James Dean 1st.
4) James Dean 2nd.
5) James Dean 3rd.
6) Exit Smiling
7) NY Dolls

I reckon some of these look pretty rare. I have the less rare of rare. I think I own:

The Smiths: a visual documentary
Morrissey's Manchester
Morrissey Shot
Morrissey in his own words
The severed alliance
The Complete Guide to the Music of The Smiths & Morrissey/Marr

Phill I am going to get your new book when I get chance, can't wait.
I would love to get Peepholism but I can't afford it and The Smiths In Quotes looks like it would be nice upon my shelf.

[Kitty3780]

Is there a difference between Morrissey Shot - hardback and paperback. I mean in terms of the contents rather than one having a more solid cover before any smart arse replies!

I have Morrissey in his own words - I love that book. Just shows how witty and timeless he is.

I am planning on investing in Peepholism in the next few months - it's often on ebay, you just have to hope you get lucky, sometimes copies go quite cheap, but at others the price rockets to astronomical amounts.

Yes to the All men have secrets but it is such a fantastic read. It is brilliant to read everybody's experiences regarding Moz. I devoured it and i wish there would be another one, soon.

[Ordinary Mayo]

Just one question about the availability of Moz-own-written books.
As I saw the James Dean several times, I would never been noticed the Exit Smiling one.

So, how rare (available) are both of them, and how much should I spend for these?

[Int'l Playboy]

I have a peep softcover and a james dean for sale, any offers? I also have the visual documentary...

I probably paid way too much for the James Dean book but i got Exit Smiling for about £12 i think both off ebay.

[georgina]

Can someone tell me what the story is with Exit Smiling. I heard that it was published without Mozz's permission and he would rather you didn't buy it. Truth or not? I'm really into the books right now, I highly recommend All Men Have Secrets and I just bought a Peep.

[Stoner Kebab]

i got a first edition of 'teleny' dirty book that oscar wilde wroted.
its dirrrrrty.
