As I have no real collection to add t, just send on my donation and skip my entry. Such a generous gift would be wasted on me.
Thank you, Bill. You are quite thephilandererphilanthropist!

You're a good man Merlin, thanks for doing this! 11-03-2016 08:05 PMJon 11-04-2016 05:37 PMMerlin1958ATTENTION!!!!!
People, PLEASE check me in the above post that I have recorded all donations and names!!! I rarely use my PP balance and as such do not receive/send funds very often. To be honest, I transfer info to a yellow legal pad in order to keep track (go ahead laugh). So, please check and make sure I have recorded your name in the post above. If I got your name I most likely go0t your amount right. Just to be safe, I will re-post names + number of entries just prior to the actual drawing.
Thank you ALL for your generosity and rest assured, "SANTA" will be on the case for the PRIZE!!!!!!

Spoiler: 11-09-2016 04:47 PMMerlin1958Just a reminder people. Donations wrap on November 30th so get your entries in now!!!!
Current total: $760.00!!!!!! 11-09-2016 05:36 PMBrian861Entry sent! Think I did it right. 11-09-2016 05:40 PMMerlin1958Yes you did!!! Post updated. 11-09-2016 05:44 PMBrian861 11-09-2016 05:59 PMMerlin1958I'd like to remind you of something. This drawing is not just for ANY signed book, but for one you are currently lacking in your collection!!! I will be scouring the winner's collection thread to ID a book (or books) that he/she "needs"!!!!!! I'm pretty good at this by the way and I have, David at Betts to help me out as well. You really ought to be in on this, folks!!!! 11-09-2016 06:06 PMBrian861I'll save ya the trouble of looking in mine. I don't own a single S/L or sig of any type from King. Well, except for the facsimile. 11-09-2016 06:13 PMMerlin1958Good to know. A S/L is very much in play here and not out of the question. In the spirit of full disclosure, # of entries may make a big difference in this drawing as there are only 20 participants at this point. Obviously, with the total currently at $760 there are only 76 entries so far. You do the math and contribute as you see fit. Oh, and also.............................................. .................................................
A Very Happy & Healthy Holiday Season to all!!!!! 11-11-2016 08:29 AMJon 11-11-2016 09:26 AMbecca692 more entries for me (should have 5 now) 11-11-2016 05:36 PMMerlin1958 11-11-2016 06:26 PMMerlin1958 11-12-2016 03:21 PMMerlin1958I seem to recall, Jerome posting drawing candidates and entries for the Grand Prize giveaway so here goes. The drawing so far..................
Spoiler:
I trust I got it right, but feel free to check me and be sure. So far we have 20 participants and $760 raised. On 12/1 the list goes to RF for his wife to draw the winning name. I placed spoiler tags over the names so that if anyone is uncomfortable with being listed they can let me know. I just wanted to be as transparent as possible to avoid any hint of impropriety. Thanks to all those that have participated so far and a very happy holiday to you all. Remember, donations will be accepted until midnight November 30th!!!
Could the prize be a S/L of "The Stand"?????????????????????????

Spoiler: 11-12-2016 04:56 PMSir_Boommeyeah... I'm the atheist that sometimes celebrates Christmas.... but you can count me in for a couple of entries....
But I don't think I probably need any of the signed books... I've run out of shelf space and been taking a break.
If I win, just send me a signed framed picture of Mr Bill in your Scooby Doo speedo.
