It took 41 years for someone to publish a signed, limited edition of I Am Legend. Gauntlet Press did it as part of their Classics Revisited series.
This edition was the first and only to include several new pieces from George Clayton Johnson, Dan Simmons and Dennis Etchison (all of whom signed the book alongside Matheson), as well as an introduction by Matthew R. Bradley (who wrote the book Richard Matheson on Screen, and is a frequent contributor to bare•bones).
Issued without a dust jacket, the book is bound in red with gold foil stamping, and housed in a black slipcase. 500 individually numbered copies were offered for sale; the primary copy in the archive is #250/500 (though the archive also currently holds copies 178, 199 and 488).
Check back next week for another item from the I Am Legend Archive.
