Don't want to "step on anyone's toes". But it may devalue it if you write in it. :-o

How wonderful it that. It often amazes me how things of that nature happen to just the right people to appreciate them. Congratulations.

The luck of the draw ;-)

If you really feel that they sent you the wrong book you can send to me and then request another. :lol:

What I great find. Enjoy it and treasure it. Every now and then us good people get an exceptionally great blessing.

You definitely have KARMA on your side, congrats on the rare find!

thanks for sharing that with us.

WOW -- how special is that???? But if you find yourself not wanting to keep this terribly used book -- you can send it to me :lol: :lol:

I just went online at Amazon.com and ordered a copy of the book. I got a "used - like new" copy for $!2.72! Thank you so much for telling us about this book. It is also available there brand new but is about $64 that way.

You are lucky to have received that book. Either it is very special and someone didn't want it anymore or it was from a book signing somewhere. So glad you got it!

Could they have sent me the wrong book? I received a book in virtually brand new condition. On the flyleaf, handwritten, is this message: "This is the official first copy off the press won in a drawing of pre-purchasers held at the book launch, November 18, 1996 at the Vancouver Public Library." There's more, then the author's name and signature. HOLY COW!!! This is the official FIRST copy of this fabulous book!

Not only is this a great book, this particular copy is a real treasure. I can't imagine how it ended up in the hands of a used book dealer in such good condition.
