    I added a note to the auction, but be advised this is sized for the US 1st edition!
    "A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King

    Nice looking case. I take it this was a pain in the butt for Jeff to make, but I like the 2 colors!

    I have some additional news on this item. It WAS won by an infrequent UK member who (thanks to some expedited shipping from Jeff) has agreed to an ADDITIONAL contribution of £35! Doubling the amount raised. In fact as postage was also covered by Jeff, the total amount raised was £73.00!! (approx $103).

    Thanks again to all those that bid, (I recognised some of the members by their eBay names ) sorry you didn't win, but I think this was a great result for the HF.

    RF, I will pm you the buyer's name, so their additional contribution can be recognised in the Grand Prize Draw.
