There were 8 entries that did not meet the official rules of entry, details of these entries have not been posted. I will be discussing these with Brian to see if he will allow them to be entered.

[billstand]

Hey, weren't we supposed to get a hint or two from Brian after 8pm.....

[TJCams]

Nice job T-Dogz!!!!!!

[Deener555]

While I was reorganizing my book collection today, I spotted one of my favorites, Misery, which I don't think anyone mentioned. I'd like to see that done in a nice limited edition someday.

[T-Dogz_AK47]

Okay, so having discussed the other 8 entries with Brian, he has agreed that they can all be entered into the contest.

[billstand]

Brian, how'd we do? Any guesses correct or 'in the ballpark'?

[Joe315]

After 8 tonight, sure!

So how'd we do?

[Ben Staad]

Thanks for putting the list together! There are a couple of guesses I really like...including mine. Although a short story collection in illustrated format may be something right up the CD alley.

Whatever it is I had fun guessing and seeing everyone else's wild speculations.

[srboone]

Great job, Tim! (I like how you put the winning entry nonchalantly down in the bottom third of the list.) Nothing to do but wait. Just under 12 hrs to go!

[Brian James Freeman]

After much deliberation, I decided I'd better only give one more hint: most of you nailed the author's name.

I'll post some prize information when I can this week. Plus I have to look back for the most creative guesses, but there's definitely a prize winner there, too.

This announcement isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea, but I think a lot of our collectors will be extremely happy with the news. Stay tuned!

Brian

Great job, Tim! (I like how you put the winning entry nonchalantly down in the bottom third of the list.) Nothing to do but wait. Just under 12 hrs to go!

And yes, BIG thanks to Tim for keeping track of everything. For some reason, I've been a little busy these last couple of weeks and wouldn't have had the time to do that right...

Brian

[bookworm 1]

Yes I see the winner right above your name...

Great job, Tim! (I like how you put the winning entry nonchalantly down in the bottom third of the list.) Nothing to do but wait. Just under 12 hrs to go!

[srboone]

I told you I would like to see the original version of The Stand back in print!
