Title: Barnabas Collins Dark Shadows photo book RARE!
Post by: Mysterious Benefactor on December 14, 2010, 09:03:33 PM

First off, I am not the person selling this book, nor do I have any connection to them. I honestly have no idea who they even are. I simply came across the offering and thought I'd pass it along. If you're a DS fan (which is pretty much a given if you're here  [santa_wink]) and especially if you're a Frid fan, this is a great book that contains many very rare DS/Frid photos, and it's well worth purchasing - particularly for such a cheap price (Buy Now - $8.00). I've seen this book sold for ridiculous amounts of money on eBay. Well, ridiculous for the buyers, not for the sellers.  [santa_grin]

I had that book as a kid.  as a matter of fact, I had the whole collection of 32, including the House of Dark Shadows book.   all were lost in a fire.   

I've looked into pricing the collection, and you are right, some of the people who sell these books take advantage, i think.   (although, I did pay 20.00 for the House of Dark Shadows book)

Interestingly I see that the book didn't sell. I'm surprised because there was a time back in the '80s and early-to-mid '90s when DS fans were rabid to get their hands on the book. But it has been relisted: Barnabas Collins Dark Shadows photo book RARE! (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=342894851)

Maybe everyone who ever wanted a copy of the book has already got their hands on one.  [wink2]

I believe you can get it in ebook fashion.  I seem to remember reading this somewhere (B&N? maybe?)

Frid's photobook and the House of Dark Shadows novelization are the only two Dark Shadows paperbacks I managed to hold onto over the years. They are in near-mint condition, too, except for my name written across the inside front cover.

Now I'm reading the screenplays that Kathryn Leigh Scott published. Hmmm.
