Got a note from Jim Casada yesterday saying that the new Ruark biography, Ruark Remembered, is now available. Jim says that he will be receiving copies from the publisher today, and you can order a copy through his website. The deluxe edition, with a bookplate signed by Harry Selby, is due next week. I've been excited about this book for some time; since I live just down the road from Jim I'm hoping to get my copy tomorrow. | ||

"deluxe edition (leatherbound, slipcased, and with a photo of Ruark and Harry Selby signed by Selby tipped in" What does "tipped in" mean? "There are worse memorials to a life well-lived than a pair of elephant tusks." Robert Ruark | |||

I believe the "tipped in" means that the signed bookplate is either pasted in the book or is slid in place via small slits in one of the pages. My copy of the trade edition just arrived... looks really well done. The photo pages are exceptionally clear. Can't wait to get started reading it. | |||

Oday450 and SC-Sportsmen are correct. It's a technique used by most publishers of "signed by the author" books. The authors do not have to open each book and autograph them. (Thank God!) They receive a stack of single sheets to sign, and the publisher has the sheets "tipped in." Bill Quimby | |||

I guess "tipped in" is better than not being in at all. But it cannot compare with a book that is flat signed by the author if such is available. My preference would be with Ritchie's signature and Casada's as well....  "When you play, play hard; when you work, don't play at all." Theodore Roosevelt | |||

If done properly, anyone who doesn't know about "tipping in" will never know it wasn't "flat signed." Bill Quimby | |||

Thanks you guys. I've ordered the "deluxe" edition and anxiously look forward to its arrival. "There are worse memorials to a life well-lived than a pair of elephant tusks." Robert Ruark | |||

I have received my "deluxe" copy of this book and it is very nice. I haven't begun to read it yet, but it looks like a great book. As to "tipped in", it consisted of a signed photograph loose inside the cover of the book. It is not attached. "There are worse memorials to a life well-lived than a pair of elephant tusks."

I am not sure that is what is meant by "tipped in."  "When you play, play hard; when you work, don't play at all." Theodore Roosevelt | |||

I've started this book and it is very good. The only thing that bothers me, and it really bothers me, is that the "tipped" in photo keeps sliding out. Would it be a problem (collector value etc) if I glued it into the book? If I should glue it, where does it belong? "There are worse memorials to a life well-lived than a pair of elephant tusks."

Yes he did. It is titled A View From A Tall Hill. "There are worse memorials to a life well-lived than a pair of elephant tusks." Robert Ruark | |||

I just finished the book and it was surprisingly good. Jim Casada did a great job editing, the photos are great, it's nice to have Selby's autograph, and I think it is written very well for a non-professional writer.
