    Yes.....that's what I've heard. Not the actual plan or buyer yet but something may be coming. I hope so because I wanted one of those!

Gee, what an evil thing to do. Good for him and I think it's fantastic. If things come together there may be other charitable happenings in the future again with him taking no profit.
    I saw one of those Thinner firsts. I wanted to cry as it was so pristine. Perhaps we'll see them again.........
    Where has someone indicated that they were displeased? I read no negative comments here or on FB. I wonder where he came across that? Although it is a cool idea... The 1st,2nd or 3rd trades would have sufficed no? Anyways, I just cannot imagine anyone getting upset about Gerald doing what he wants with his money either way.
    Your last sentence says it all. He bought and paid for them like everyone else, he can do whatever he wants with them. We all know they were signed by an employee so who gives a damn?
    The whole thing just irks me a little. It's for charity people. Get over it.

    Nope....just in-the-loop specific to the intentions. A project I will not be interested in but, some may be.

    That's all I got.

    Dark and mysterious. I like that in a man.
    It will be interesting to see what this turns out to be. Depends on pricing as I really just wanted one of those beautiful books as is.

    I think it's a damn cool thing of Gerald to do! Maybe it will be one of those books that snaps those kids out of a funk. It might even make a lifelong King or book collector out of one those young'uns!

    I agree. I don't know any specifics, but it's preposterous that anyone would have a negative thing to say about Gerald donating copies of the book to the children's hospital. It's a very nice gesture on Gerald's part.

    Yes, interesting project. But again not for me. I'm sure all will be revealed soon.

    What was the justification for saying negative things? I'm having trouble fathoming why someone would object to donating books to sick children.

    Not sure if the controversy lies with my statement in another thread responding to an earlier post regarding Gerald apologizing for not being able to help with matching #'s for the books he donated.

    Gerald can (and should) do anything he wants with his money (books). I just openly asked:

    "What the hell does a sick child want a print for?"

    My statement wasn't meant as a criticism, but as a question regarding a sick child enjoying the print, not the book itself. I questioned (and I still do) what if any additional pleasure a sick child would receive by the enclosed print.
    It wasn't intended to disparage Gerald.

    If you feel differently, feel free to say so. I can and will accept reasonable and even harsh criticism.

    If it had nothing to do with my post, then we can move along.

    Sorry I have not been on the site while your questions were being posted.
    Gerald supplied me the lettered "Danse Macabre" from his collection. As always the quality was first class, it was a fine copy through all three aspects, book, glassine and slip case.
    My sincere thanks to Gerald Winters & Son for obliging me with a particularly difficult book to find.

    FWIW, I have personally found, Gerald to be a fair minded and generous individual. Something I am sure you will all agree to in the not too distant future. Maybe "Judgement" should be reserved until all the facts are in play and available. FWIW keep a weather eye on this thread for some exciting things in the wings!!!

    Bill, I am confused. No one here has disparaged Gerald. Comments and opinions have been posted, but nowhere do I see something saying his "Judgement" day is coming.
    Your comment makes it seem like members here have wronged Gerald, and that we will be proven wrong.
    I suggest you go have a cup of tea to relax.
