    I'm the first...

    I am the first person to post in the German Ed. section? I rule.

    Hello German newbies.

    I beat you to it, heartbreak.

    I received mine yesterday:











    Let me know if you want other pages/shots. I took a few more, but 3.2 m-pixels can't pick up a page-full of text very well.

    Awesome Jux! Nice collection too. Are your three copies of The Fifty Year Sword different?

    Two of them are signed (one is from the contest). I have a sick sort of pleasure knowing that I own .15% of the total print run of a great book (novella).

    I've been loaning out the third copy as much as I can, but I haven't got much reception from the proposition. Anyone want to borrow it? (that can send it back or loan it to another - no hoarding!)

    I've toyed around with the idea of finding a first printing copy of The Fifty Year Sword in Dutch, but haven't seen one for sale, so I might be out of luck on that one.

    Pfft, you should loan it to me.

    Also, VERY nice collection. I'm jealous.

    I have 3 copies of the hardcover: one marked-up and written-in for research reading/note-taking; one unmarked; and one signed from the contest. I also have the Advanced Reader's Copy and the paperback courtesy of Pamela at Random (anyone who entered the contest received one).

    I have a taste of a book fetish, so a lot of my money goes towards building my collection. One day I'll make it around to actually reading all of them... ('I got wiring loose inside my head, I got books that I never ever read...')
