From "The Libertarian":
As of this post, I have the high bid.
This brand new, one-of-a-kind book is being sold to raise money for a friend of liberty who is dying of cancer.
THE BOOK: This is a leather-bound copy of the exciting near-future adventure novel The Black Arrow by Vin Suprynowicz, author of the syndicated newspaper column, "The Libertarian."
It is #485 of 1,000 copies from the book's first edition. It is brand new and in perfect shape. It has beautiful blue and gold hand-made end-papers. Vin autographed this book to his fellow libertarian writer, Claire Wolfe. And together they have decided to auction it for a good cause.
THE CAUSE: Walter Bark, the founding webmaster and guiding spirit of The Claire Files discussion forums is dying of cancer. His friends Elias Alias, Basil Fishbone, and Iloilo Jones have been bearing the entire cost of the herbal medicines that are making Bark's final days tolerable. They're spending about $400 per month out of their own pockets and Elias has taken Bark and his mother and daughter into his home.
If you're the winner of this auction, you'll be getting a truly one-of-a-kind collector's item, signed from one well-known libertarian author to another. And you'll be doing a great deed for some fine, generous people.
