Don't buy this for me. It's way too expensive. I'm serious. However, if you find a copy lying on the sidewalk, please think of me before you throw it away...

...also, I would like to find a library I can check it out of, plz.

That's the signed, limited edition. Surely they are going to follow it up with a regular trade edition, right?

All I know is what they tell me:

"Vanessa del Rio is limited to a total of 1,500 numbered copies, each signed by Vanessa
• 1,300 copies in the Art Edition
• 200 copies in the Collector's Edition, with a signed watercolor lithograph of Vanessa by acclaimed artist Robert Crumb "

so far no libraries have purchased this, and unless a library has a collection of erotica it will not likely be purchased by a library.

Due to the low number of copies, I don't think anyone outside of personal collections will buy this for their library. It is one of those items that is likely to be stolen.

However, if they do decide at some later point to do a mass printing it's possible a library will order it. Most of the libraries I know of frown on nudity in photos unless they're considered "artistic" and the fact that she's a porn star will also hinder libraries from ordering the book until she becomes more of an icon like Petty Paige.

Yeah :(

Maybe we can take up a collection to buy it for the Center.

You want sticker shock, look at this...
