The Ben Jonson Memorial Fundraiser: details

[truepenny]

THIS IS NOT THE SALE POST. YOU CANNOT BUY THINGS FROM HERE.

---

The Ben Jonson Memorial Fundraiser will take place on February 2, 2011 (Ben's birthday). All proceeds will go to the University of Wisconsin-Madison Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital's Companion Animal Fund.

Please spread the word!

I will be selling:

MISCELLANEOUS

• 1 copy of Studies in English Literature, 1500-1900 42.1 (Winter 2002), which contains my sole academic article, "Speaking and Silent Women in Upon Appleton House": $5
  
• 1 copy of Concussed, from Concussion (Eastercon 2006), which includes stuff from a whole bunch of cool people--M. John Harrison, Hal Duncan, Elizabeth Hand, Jay Lake, Jo Walton, Elizabeth Wein, etc.--and "Toward a Praxis of World-Building," which is a reprint of a couple blog posts of mine: $5
  
• 1 copy of Paradox: The Magazine of Historical and Speculative Fiction 10 (Winter 2006-2007), containing my novelette "Amante Dorée," about a transsexual prostitute/spy in an AU New Orleans: $5
  
• 1 copy of The Queen in Winter (New York: Berkley Books, 2006)--fantasy/romance anthology with stories from Claire Delacroix, Lynn Kurland, Sharon Shinn, and me (my story, A Gift of Wings, is set in Meduse*, although it has no other connection with the Doctrine of Labyrinths): $20
  

KYLE MURCHISON BOOTH

• 1 copy of Lovecraft's Weird Mysteries #7 (first publication of "The Inheritance of Barnabas Wilcox"): $5
  
• 1 copy of All Hallows 35 (February 2004) (first publication of "Bringing Helena Back"): $10
  
• 1 copy of All Hallows 41 (February 2006) (first publication of "Drowning Palmer"): $10
  
• 10 copies of the first edition of The Bone Key (you should know, if you're thinking of buying it, that The Bone Key is going to be rereleased later this year, with story notes, a new introduction, and a new cover): $15 per copy
  

I also want to do a limited edition chapbook of the four uncollected Booth stories: "The Replacement," "The World Without Sleep," "White Charles," "The Yellow Dressing Gown." Working title is Unnatural Creatures. Price will be $20, although in this one instance, not ALL proceeds will go to the Companion Animal Fund, as some will have to go to production costs. But I will not take a cut.

By "limited edition," I mean a print run of 50. If you would be interested, please comment here, so that I can make a guess as to whether it's worth doing. And if more than 50 people indicate interest, I will consider making it a print run of 100 instead. Unnatural Creatures will be on sale from 02/02 2:00 P.M. CST to 02/03 2:00 P.M. CST. This will be a "speak now or forever hold your peace" kind of deal.

A COMPANION TO WOLVES

• 5 copies of A Companion to Wolves (hardback): $25 per copy
  
• 5 copies of A Companion to Wolves (paperback): $7 per copy
  

THE DOCTRINE OF LABYRINTHS

• 10 sets of the Doctrine of Labyrinths in paperback: $35 per set
  
• 2 copies of Mélusine (hardback): $30 per copy
  
• 3 copies of The Virtu (hardback): $30 per copy
  
• 2 copies of The Mirador (hardback): $30 per copy
  
• 3 copies of Corambis (hardback): $30 per copy
  

And I will auction off my last set of the Doctrine of Labyrinths in hardback. Starting bid will be $100.

All items will be signed. They will be personalized at the discretion of the buyer. I will ship anywhere in the world.

The sale and auction will start on February 2, 2011, at two o'clock P.M. Central Standard Time. The auction will run until two o'clock P.M. CST, February 3, 2011. The sale will run until either everything's gone or it's obvious people are done buying. All payments will be made via PayPal, and there will also be a button for those who don't want or can't afford to buy anything, but who would still like to make a donation.

Have I forgotten anything? Have a question? Please leave a comment!

Commenting for the booth chapbook.

[naamah-darling.livejournal.com]

I will definitely buy the chapbook, if one is made available.

Also commenting for the chapbook. (Though I really ought to track down the other Booth stuff somehow and read it, methinks.)

[g33kgrrl]

I would buy a Booth chapbook, for sure, if that is the final price. Unemployed student means I shouldn't go higher, in case production costs make it more or something.

I would very much like one of the limited edition Booth collection, and love the idea of at least some of the price going towards such a good cause!

You will be buying them from me; I'll set up an LJ post on the second.

Have I said before, how sorry I am for your loss? I know how hard it is, went through it with Annie, just fading through the late summer, and had to let her go the week before Thanksgiving.

I can't pay anything until my Social (in)Security comes in on the third... can I reserve one of the sets of paperback Doctrine of Labyrinths? (Oh ghods, where will the money come from? Gotta have it. *very wry*) (So-called discretionary spending goes for few things: Books. Beads. Music. All the rest is mutable.)

(And I'm so pleased to see where the funds are going. My new feline owner, Hannah, is actually being fostered with me, on a permanent basis, by PAWS of Bainbridge. They will pay all vet bills, ever.) (They'd pay for cat food & litter, but I can cover that, leaves them with more for others, right?) They'd provide transportation to & from the vet's office, too, but since I've got a cat carrier and can drive... ) (If I go out of town, they'll board her for free...) Amazing place. If I had the spoons, I'd get some of my jewelry together and photographed and do a fundraiser for them. One of these months, maybe...

I'd also like to reiterate how sorry I am for your loss and I'd also like to add that I think it's absolutely wonderful that you're doing this.

I'd personally love a hardback copy of Melusine and The Virtu, possibly the Mirador, but I need to check on that when I get home tonight. *_*
