Archived from groups: rec>collecting>books (more info?)

I just read in Locus magazine that a book that had a first print run of 100K
copies has gone back to press for another 15K copies. As an old collector,
this does not make the 2nd much more desirable to me; the 1st is better.
Does anyone think otherwise?

No unless there was some major error in the text of the first... If
that were the case, I'd probably be interested in picking up the
second.

Are there any 1sts with a print run of 100,000 copies worth
anything (more than $10-$15...)?

I've encountered two relatively recent SF paperbacks that
consistently commands value over $10.00:

Tanith Lee's _Red as Blood_(1981)
Jonathan Carroll's _Outside the Dog Museum_(1993)

But perhaps -- aside from their authors' semi-cult status -- the
print runs of these titles were substantially less than 100K.
