The last "Rosemary's Baby" posting

By now you must be really tired of me comparing my apartment building to the spooky fictitious one,  The Bramford, in Ira Levin's modern day horror thriller "Rosemary's Baby". So I promise that this will be the last posting about that book and movie. Anyway, I got an email notice from Amazon pushing the special 50th Anniversary edition of the book in trade paperback. So I decided to click on it and read about the book and to see people's comments, etc. When I did I noticed that they were also selling other editions of the book, including some vintage paperback editions from when it was initially published. One thing caught me eye: some new versions of the original, which I assume are collector's items, are priced at--wait for it--over $1400!!

And even better, guess who owns an original copy of one those editions? You guessed it, yours truly. Many years ago I found one in a used book store. I couldn't have paid more than two or three dollars for it. You can imagine my happiness to know mine could be worth a lot more than that. Now, mine is a little worn, "gently used", in some parlance, but still...nice to know it's worth something :)j
Here are some pictures of my copy...on the back cover you can see the iconic baby carriage on the rim of the volcano image that was used in the film's poster, plus a shot of Mia Farrow, the star of the movie.
