He and I had worked in book publishing together for many years, and he was also a true collector. His family has asked that I represent for sale these books and comics from his collection. The collection is voluminous, and my friend was an editor for the DC books and the Star Wars books while a Senior Editor at Bantam Books. Most of these titles are in Fine condition. I would say that most have never been opened for reading. I will be posting new auctions for this collection over the next few months. Please let me know if you have any questions about the provenance for these publications.And as always, BindingDeals offers a no-hassle return policy.
