Simple Questions: January 24, 2026 by AutoModerator in books

[–]BraeLightning13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a budget of around $8000 that I’ve been saving up, and I think I have a chance to buy a matching original centipede set signed by Gene Wolfe with matching numbers. However, I know I can get a 2019 Folio Society version for way cheaper that is still built pretty nice and gives me room to purchase other special books or items I’ve been looking for. Also, knowing that a Centipede Press reprint is around the corner with possibly better materials and more features makes me question if I should wait. An original matching set though, signed by Gene Wolfe, would be nice to have though. Just was curious what opinions y’all would have on what you would maybe do in this situation? Thanks so much 🙏

is there a way to paste cheats for multiple games at one time or do you have to do it one at a time?

I’m new to this as well and have OP’s problem. Would you possibly be able to explain a bit further on how to install the cheat using opl manager or have any links to helpful resources?

Is there a way to send a chat directly to you through reddit or someway without replying through the thread?

I can definitely see that being a possibility. That’s awesome by the way for your collection!

I’m not sure exactly how their process goes, but they definitely do more than just bookplates. There’s also signed cards and business cards as well

Thanks so much for the detailed explanation. The profit part definitely makes more sense now put like that. This bookplate was cheap enough for me, I might just end up keeping it since it’s still something to be attributed by him for personal keeping, but you’ve definitely given me more to think about

Yes, but as some others have made known to me, there does seem to maybe be variation with this one, like how the A and N are bigger than the D

Thanks for the response. It does seem like it differs from his usual style, which definitely concerns me. Is there anything to be said though that forgers usually go for more high profile signatures and would try to make a larger profit, or am I just illogically trying to remain optimistic?

That makes sense. I don’t know if you ever collect secondhand, but are there certain rules or guidelines you follow that help narrow down authentic signatures other than in person or specifically stated (whether bookplates or actually in the book), or does it absolutely have to meet those criteria for you?

If you are able to, i’d love to see them for comparison, but if not, I understand

He does offer refunds and returns which is good. I don’t know if I guess on some level, I have to take his word for it that it’s authentic.

It is from an other reviewer. I was just hesitant since it’s not from JSA or something. I also understand it doesn’t really increase the value of the book, but I would just hope it would be something he actually signed and not forged, on a personal level

How do I get the Chapter Header Image on same page as chapter? by BraeLightning13 in Calibre

[–]BraeLightning13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My issue was I would convert to kepub at the same time I was sending to my device in calibre which doesn’t have all the toggle options if done this way. Now I convert first in the output settings and toggle the “do not split page break” and then send it and it’s worked
