Dean Corso: It's an impressive collection. You have some very rare editions here. Are you sure you want to sell them all?
Old Man's Son: They're of no use to father. Not anymore. Not since he's been this way. His library was his whole world. Now it's just a feeble memory.

Trivia
When Balkan has all nine woodcuts laid out, we know that one is a forgery. Of the rest as visible on screen only two are definitely the 'LCF' versions of the illustrations. The remaining six are all the 'AT' versions. See more »Goofs
Continuity: When Corso and the girl arrive at the castle where the convention takes place, night is falling. As Corso leaves again, chasing Balkan, only a short time afterward, there is bright sunlight. See more »Quotes
