        Great dogs, i can't tell you how much happiness you will get from them. Getting a dog was the easiest decision i have ever made! If you want any help in training them pm me.

          Your post got lost in the jumble, Ron; sorry 'bout that. THT was worth framing. Besides, it would just just tattered and frayed if I didn't do something with it!

            So there I was, just settling in to watch Bag of Bones (which I missed las night because of football), when a loud knock on the door came. Very annoying, but I'm...generally a social creature, so I answered it. Postman Billy greeted me with a "Merry Christmas" and some packages! So, my brief annoyance flew out the window.

            Two were stuff everybody should be familiar with by now (not including those rock underdwellers, of course!)

              But the third package was of great interest to me, so I opened it last.

              I remembered someone in an earlier thread saying that a signed limited of this book had been made, but I never pursued it. Then Patrick showed us his nifty Hill House edition of American Gods by Neil Gaiman. I tried to google Hill House and came up only with an Australian Naturalists Society Publishing House; so I put the publisher in to ABE and BIBLIO and came up with over 3000 pieces of garbage, but I did find this:

                    My pictures never come out right compared to my scans <sigh>

                      Gervais did 12 interiors for the book. Since I want to get back to BoB, I'll post 2 of them:

                        This is my favorite interior. Dr. Rabbitfoot scared the crap outta me at 16 and did so again at 45. This is exactly as I pictured him, too. Creepy.

                          Finally, the seller included 2 pieces of correspondence with the book.

                          From the publisher:

                            And a bill of sale for #s 139-148 to the merchant who sold me the book. Doesn't do anything for me, but I'll keep it.

                              Finally, a scan I forgot to include above, so I'll put it here. It comes in a slipcase. The slipcse is slightly faded and frayed on one of the back ends, but it's in very good shape still.

                                So now I have two states, the HH s/l and a 1st/1st American HC:
