The first editions of Philip K.Dick's novels saw limited runs and Dick rarely attended signings. As a result, early and signed copies of Dick's books fetch top dollar on the rare book circuit. Guess which Dick novel sold for $6.5K?


AbeBooks has compiled a list of the most expensive Dick sales ever to grace the site. Note that these are only the books that sold - there are plenty of pricey books still up for grabs. You can still pick up a first edition of Dr. Bloodmoney if you have $1500 lying around.
