Fake first editions?

[kizkiz]

Just checked my second imprint
It only has one blank page at each end.
As others have said, not a book that anyone would fake, you just have a very nice copy is all

Too be honest, I doubt if any of the omnibuses, where first edition or not, would be worth as much as the individual books in first edition. There would be little money for a faker.

Going by the Abebooks listing, it looks like you paid about the right price.

I'm just wondering if it's financially feasible for someone to scan an existing copy and then print it out and glue the whole thing together.

Not at all, unless they have their own print-on-demand business, and even then it would not be cost-effective.
The cost of ink and paper alone would be prohibitive for an ordinary person.

How many counterfeit copies would someone need to print and sell at 40 bucks to turn a profit?

Probably several thousand or more, considering that regular publishers have to sell that many to begin to make any reasonable profit.

I'm unpacking my books at the moment,as I not that long moved house and just reassembled my bookcases so when I come to it I will post the details.
EDIT TO ADD I have the Death trilogy,not the Watch one.

 

[huhhuh]

Relieved to see the likelihood of counterfeiting this item is low, guess I just got a really nice copy. Thanks for all the feedback guys, really apprecated.
