OK guys, this ain't ebay and I was in at 9... not 9:01, but Jon can declare the wiener and it won't matter to me whichever way it goes.
However, should Jon decide my bid was the winner, We will start another loosely based on Sparky's idea. If someone wants to read my book, go the the thread I will start on who wants to read the MT book, enter your name, the book will be yours for 2 weeks after it arrives. Your obligation will be to contact the next person via PM on the list and mail it via one of those PO priority envelopes (less than $5). Sounds easy, all you have to do to get your name in is post your name on the thread and then send Jon $25 or more and you will get t read the book. Same deal for everyone, if the book needs to ship to Australia, England, Denmark, wherever, it can go by 1st class for around the same shipping. It is all for a good cause, and hopefully I won't get to read it for a couple of years, when I have more time.
Incidentally, there is one on Ebay right now for a $250 buy it now....from a foreign seller.
