    Oooh...if I didn't already have one of these I'd be really pissed I didn't wait to put in my donation.

    I suppose a person could be switched to the next item if it was really important.

    Just so it is clear to everyone: The issue price of $110 included two other books in addition to this one.

    That said, what a great giveaway item! I don't have this edition. Hmmmmm....


    Side note to Matt:

    In the listing you say, "This item will be given away in a drawing for anyone who donated or bid on one of our auctions between 1/16/10 and 1/31/10." Don't you mean anyone who won one of our auctions?

    Yes Patrick, thank you for pointing that out. I will get it changed.

    And also yes on the books, I was hoping that description made it clear.

    I just did the drawing for this one - Congrats to Kim L. from the SKMB!

    I used the same program as Matt to do the drawing for this one. It's called "The Hat." I posted a screen shot below for anyone who might want to see how it works.

    Congrats again, Kim!

    A true firewasp ninja would never wear such a ridiculous sweater.

    There's logic in nonsense.

    Give me all the bacon and eggs you have.

    Oh, Matt, I don't doubt it at all.

    I'll be sure to watch it closer. This one just jumped off my radar for some reason - my fault completely.

    Looking forward to the next announcement.
