For Primates Only

Dr. A. is too modest (ha!) to publicize this, but there will be a limited number of his books for sale at TAM. They have been donated, so 100% of the purchase price goes to JREF.

I recently bought it and read it. It's a good book, a pleasure to read. I think it will sell out fast.

Monkeys? That's all the enticement I need.

 

[Paul C. Anagnostopoulos]

Yes, buy it and read it.

Bravo!!!

I don't think Dr. Adequate will be at TAM5, but I think the books being donated are autographed. Don't hold me to that, rather check for yourself at TAM.

Thanks very much to the person who donated them. I don't think they'll last long!

Perhaps a silent auction might fetch a better price since quantities are limited (and this is essentially a fund raising event)?

I think that would be nice, but it is easy for me to say that, since I won't be involved in organizing it. If someone who *is* going could take charge of that, though... I have only been to a couple of silent auctions, but it seems that it might be a fairly simple task. I don't recall how many copies there are, but it should be easy enough to take the top N bidders over cover price. Yes, anyone can (and should) order online, but as you say, this is fund raising.

But like I said, it is easy for me to say that; TAMs can be chaotic, and adding any additional chaos may not be desired, even if it raises money.

Yes, thanks very much to Kiless! (ok, and thanks, Dr. A, for writing such a desirable book!)

I may also be wrong, but I do not think they will be autographed. Time constraints, making sure they got to Oz in time to be brought to TAM, prohibited a stop for autographing. There was some talk of an official stamp or seal, but I do not know if anything came of it. If an autograph is part of the appeal, perhaps the book could be used to collect the autographs of Mr. Randi and/or some other speakers.
