age 300 is OK in my copy too. Just received it yesterday (Jersey City, NJ). A beautiful tome indeed. Love the photo on the back. (And the illustration on the front.)
Got #452, which is fun for me because that's the answer to the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life with a five in the middle. (Anyone ever play Riven? Fives everywhere. One of my favorite games.)
Numerological silliness aside, it's beautiful. Congratulations!

Speaking of Harlan, I'm reading Deathbird Stories now. Quite yummy. (Perhaps not a technical literary criticism term, but I like it.) Before coming across your work I'd somehow never really read much Shirley Jackson, Lovecraft, or Harlan Ellison. Now I'm reading and enjoying all three, and your work too, of course. Beyond measure. Thanks.
