Hello there folks, if you recall, last year I auctioned the one and only signed and personally dedicated proof copy of Necrophenia to raise money for the Stroke Association. A goodly sum was raised too. So, I have now in my possession the first ever proof copy of Retromancer. I will promise that this will be the only signed copy ever and that it will come with a set of one-off prints of the tarot cards (as these are not printed in the proof copy) the money will go to the Stroke Association as this is Neil's choice of charity, and he is making the radio series of this book. And if I can chuck in any other collectables I will. By the by, I really appreciate the generosity of all concerned, this kind of stuff matters.
Cheers and who'll say a tenner?
All the bestest

Wow JD, no time wasted. Well, even though I normally kept to the tradition of not bidding against fellow forum people in the auctions at events, all's fair in regards to charity, so I'll have to go £110.

But not a *signed* one though.... and it will never be signed....

Still, I do wonder how these people get hold of proofs. Does the publisher just give them out to anyone claiming to be a reviewer?
