Original/first Printing, Simons Necronomicon Options

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused012.gif) I have a numbered edition of the first printing of Simons Necronomicon...and I'm entertaining ideas of selling it. I have only a limited idea as to its worth. I will post photos of the title page and number alittle later on. It is in excellent condition. For now, just curious!

Greetings!
Thanks Imperial Arts but no thanks!
Slayden, I'm not comfortable discussing my infirmities, both physical or fiduciary, with someone I don't know. Suffice that my library is extensive and if I wish to sell a book then I will. The subject of my poverty is not the issue. I have a secure dwelling place, good food, fantastic music, art and literature at my beck and call and great friends! When money is needed, it usually comes. And that is that.

I have heard it(the book) auctioning off on ebay for close to $1,000 dollars (personally, I find this ludecrous). It is bound in black leather with silver embossed cover and silvered leaves(pages). It has the limited edition number on the inside page. I ordered it directly through Herman Slater of the Magickal Childe bookstore in the early seventies...I was in one of three test groups that did some initial work with the Fifty Names. I've met Simon (real name withheld) through Herman. When I get my digital camera set up I will take and opload some pictures.
I was not aware that there are ANY blue-bound books of the first edition made....ever!

Just to clarify, I wasn't offering, but it does seem a fair trade and I am curious as to why you would refuse if whoever did this were to succeed.

As far as I am aware, the book was released in a limited edition of 666 copies. I saw this edition years ago and for some reason remember it as blue, but the binding looked secure. By way of comparison the 500 copy limited edition hardcover I.G.O.S. titles are poorly bound and printed by photocopy for $75.

Isn't Simon actually Peter Levenda? I think he posts here sometimes. Why is his identity a secret?
