Typographer.org booklet #200 auction to benefit SOTA & ATypI

Bald Condensed

Typographer.org produced a keepsake booklet for TypeCon2005, featuring exclusive pre-release reviews by Yves Peters (Bald Condensed) of 11 new type designs. Each of those are designed with the actual typefaces, so you see the fonts in use as you read the reviews. The signed and numbered collector’s item — produced in a limited edition of 200 copies, with a cover designed and silk-screened by David John Earls — were distributed at the conference.

Number 200 travelled to New York City and Helsinki, and then all over Europe to collect the signatures of all the type designers who participated in this project. The names featured on its front page range from young up-and-comers to card carrying type design celebrities: Stefan Hattenbach, Jean François Porchez, Tomáš Brousil, Nick Shinn, {ths}, Rian Hughes, Randy Jones, Mark Simonson, Peter Bil’ak, Eduardo Manso and David Berlow.

The money raised by this auction will be split in half and donated to both the SOTA and ATypI organisations. The auction ends on Christmas Eve.

I can't figure out how to make a bid in Dutch. :<

Let's see if I can walk you through it.

On the main item page, right to the picture, Huidig bod: means Current bid. Right underneath the current bid amount, the button says Bod plaatsen > which means Place bid. Click it.

On the next page, in the right hand column, fill in your Gebruikersnaam (User name) and Wachtwoord (Password) and log in by clicking the button Veilig inloggen >.
(If you are not yet registered to eBay, I suggest you do that on the English-language website. That'll save you a lot of trouble.)

On the next page, you can place your bid where it says Je maximumbod: (Your maximum bid) and then click the button Doorgaan > to continue.

On the next page you confirm your bid by clicking the button Bod bevestigen.

Good luck -- you've got one day and 14 hours left.

Thanks again Yves :-)
