Just FYI for HN - if there is anyone looking to make big money in the coming years there are no fully signed TAOCP first editions anywhere. You would honestly print so much money if you could get all the first edition volumes signed.
He is incredibly generous with his signings --- even doing one on the spur of the moment in his home when one of the presenters mentioned that he'd been unable to source a copy of _Mathematical Fun and Games_ (I had a copy I'd planned on getting signed, but instead passed it to his wife and insisted that she get a photo of DEK signing it for her husband and that they keep it).

Interesting. I wonder if there is a way to get the completed volumes signed by him prior to shipping all the way to Australia. I was all over abesbooks looking for signed copies but couldn't find anything.
The thing is, the first editions were a _long_ while ago --- not sure how many are in good condition and for sale even unsigned.
Apparently some folks actually paid in advance for the full set leatherbound --- it'll be interesting to see the posts about Vol. 4 being delivered....
