Signed Limited Editions from Faber & Faber UK

Each month Faber & Faber UK offers a signed limited edition of one of their titles. Membership is free (and garners you a 15% discount at Faber.co.uk), although you can become a Faber "Collector" for £500 ($750 USD) / year (about $63 USD per title). For that price, you get 12 collectible editions a year sent to you plus a 25% discount on other Faber & Faber titles. If you live in the UK, you get other relevant discounts & access to exclusive Faber author events.

The collectible editions are traditionally printed (on an old Heidelberg press) and hand sewn and bound in cloth. They come sans dust jacket, in a slip-case.

Print Runs: 
Editions are generally quite small, in the 100-400 copy range.

Prices:
Prices range from £40 ($60 USD) to £100 ($150 USD).

Value:
If your pockets can bear the initial cost, these editions will generally jump in value to at least twice the original price. Most of the listings over on Abebooks are in the $200 - $600 range (although some listings can still be found for the cover price equivalent). Again, that's value and not what the market might bear.
