Any missing pages?
What's the minimum bid?

The book's barely been opened... maybe a few times. The Font Finder brochure has a slightly dog-eared corner. Other than that, both books are in excellent condition. Minimum bid? Huh... never thought of it. It sells for just over $100 currently... Your thoughts?

I guess the Typophile donation aspect is an extra incentive... In fact I think you'll get more for it here than on eBay because of that (since it's a normally available thing). I'll think about it.

Thanks, Hrant.

Sure, let's say $10 minimum bid to get things rolling, and we'll auction it for five days. If that sounds good, let it roll. If not, I'm open to any suggestions.

I'll bid $100.

Nothing like turning up the heat right from the start. Typophile thanks you, bj, and so do I!

Believe me, I'll get really cold if David or James show up
and start lighting cigarettes with $100 bills.

I missed out getting this at TypeCon.

Forgot to mention: I'll cover the shipping from my half. USPS First Class, or Priority if it's not too outrageous (this book isn't exactly light). OK, where were we... bidding and burning Ben Franklins, right?

I'm surprised every person here doesn't already own this. Priceless piece.

Hmmm ...

Christmas gifts for my three children or a book for Papa???

I am certain the children will understand.

;)

That's the spirit, Mike!

Hey, good thinking Mike, but if you sell the kids you'll have more to bid with than just the money you save on their presents.
Now if anyone will offer me $100 apiece for these 2, I can put a bid in for the book...

Just a reminder that this auction ends Tuesday � only two days away. And I'll make sure it gets to the highest bidder by Christmas!

Amazon double "post" I presume

I bid $120

Dylan, does your shipping offer include Canada?

Yes, Canada's included. Thanks for bidding!

Grant, I woulda thought you had several dog-eared
copies of this already. ;D

hmmm, I'll add $10 to the kitty, $130.

Not quite the excitement of the ATF auction.

BJ, I have a ratty old 1994 edition, that's it. I thought perhaps it was time to upgrade.

$140

another one.....

Hey Grant, maybe you want to sell that ratty copy? :D

Can I get a Rutledge and a Phil's, too? ;D

btw, I don't think I'll go over $140 ...

> maybe you want to sell that ratty copy?

I think I will sell it, if I end up with this newer version that is. And actually, it's not that ratty. It's in very good condition really. But you're not getting my copies of Rutledge's or Phil's though...

I'll be on the road when the auction ends tonight, so if you have any questions for me, send 'em today before 5:30PM (eastern time). Thanks, everyone.

Approximately 35 minutes left! I'm off. Jackin' in again at 7:30 or sooner. Good luck!

Congratulations, Grant! Thanks for your generosity. Please contact me so we can arrange payment and shipping.

And Jared, are you in here?

Dylan, an email is heading your way.
