This is a most impressive list and and will be going to an equally impressive group of people. I have only been active on this site for probably the last six months but in that time the entire group has utterly amazed me with your conduct and respect for each other. I wish everyone luck in the drawing and echo the kudos and thanks to Matt as well.

Thanks to information from a very good friend. I have contacted Jill Bauman and she said she would sign this edition (plus a sketch).
Very nice person.

That edition of The Dead Zone donated by veryfinebooks.com and signed/remarqued by Jill Bauman is now added to the official list in the first post.
It took spot #10

I have just received my box back from Glenn Chadbourne...I nearly fainted (for real)
He not only signed and remarqued the books but included an illustration that is...I can't even describe it in words.
Posting a pic and adding it to the list soon.

Matt, man you guys rule!!! Everyone who is participating with this fundraiser rules!! Thanks everybody.
Thanks! I'm about to pee my pants for sure.
Well, here it is you guys. I'm going to add it into it's spot on the list. This illustration was done by Glenn for our fund raiser.
Obviously the picture does it absolutely no justice. Like I said, it's indescribable in its coolness.

Just reading this thread for the first time... Simply amazing, Matt! You've outdone yourself this year, my friend. Thank you so much to you and all the other members/donors who assisted in obtaining these wonderful prizes, and of course to the artists and writers who took the extra effort to make them even more special. Outstanding!
Ho-lee-shit!
