Hi Pat,

This doesn't directly relate to this post, but to an earlier one where (I'm assuming) you joked about selling the books on eBay. Though I'm not a lawyer, I am fairly certain that you cannot take a tax deduction for an item that you resell. You might want to ask a lawyer (I'm sure there's one lurking in the comments somewhere) and clarify that.

I just wanted to say, (for the benefit of any authors, editors, publishers and the like out there watching this and thinking about next year…) I’ve met a whole heap of new shopping prospects here. Pat’s recommendations along with taking a close look at the quotes, the story and knowing the author/publisher is donating to a worthy cause, all makes for a very enticing package for my Christmas shopping list.

I mean the possibility of winning via donation is good too… but there are a whole heap here that I’d like to add to my shelf.

Copy what amanda said, every one of these books that are going onto the block look amazing. i’m afraid that you will drive me to the poor house with these temptations.

Peter S. Beagle! I think you pretty much sold the cause after you mentioned his name. :)

Gosh, there were so many wonderful-looking books here… I think my reading list just got 3x longer…..

All these books I’ve never heard of before despite my spending loads of time in the fantasy-sci-fi section of our biggest English bookshop reminds me just how backwatered Belgium really is. (Concerning the fantasy genre)

Anyways, the holidays are coming along so I’ll finally be able to work and thus get moneys and soooo I’ll be able to donate. Hope I win something. <3

I'm just sorry I couldn't donate more than one book. That was the last copy I had on hand.

And The Bone Key is fantastic!

Quite possibly one of the best titles ever: “The Rhinoceros who Quoted Nietzsche.”

I’m so excited to see how this years fundraiser turns out. Congrats on the $33,546.51 raised so far.

I literally just picked up Black & White and started reading it, random! Would be awesome to win a signed copy.

Quite a fun read so far.

Can't wait for post Xmas donation time.

I seriously want all of these books.

P.S. There’s going to be this awesome thing on YouTube tomorrow called the Project For Awesome by the Vlogbrothers where everyone makes videos promoting their favorite charities, and a lot of people do Heifer International. If I was any good with a video camera/Youtube I was going to do Worldbuilders, but then again, you might just go completely broke if too many more people donate ;)
