Book Advice
I have some questions about an item that I have had for some time. It is
a "manuscript" for Clive Cussler's "Sahara". It is two voulmes of typed 8.5X11 pages, I guess that it was too big to do in one volume in this format. Each Volume has been bound together very simply. The cover of the first one has "SAHARA A Novel Clive Cussler" typed on the cover as well as "Pass for Press 12/11/91" and then a list of 11 names. One of the names had a line drawn from it to a handwritten "12". The second volume has "SAHARA by Clive Cussler" typed on it and the "Vol. II" handwritten below that. The actual text of the book is corrected in several pages, so it appears that the book was actually edited from the original of these pages. I was given this in 1992 by the fiction book buyer of a large independent bookseller. I met Cussler a few years later and showed it to him. He was very surprised to see and said that it was quite a rarity. He signed the title page with "Zowie! Clive Cussler '94". My questions: What is the proper term for this item? Is it a maunscript, a manuscript copy? Any ideas as to it's worth? What would be the best way for me to find a value and to possible sell it. Thanks for your help! Lee Cochenour "I am Elmer J.
