Book auction for charity & a signed print of Neil Gaiman!!

Attention all British bibliophiles!
There is currently an online auction of signed books donated by various authors, in aid of the BBC’s Children in Need.
At the forefront (lot number one), is a signed print of Neil Gaiman for the bargain price of £50
(and Good Omens, signed by Gaiman and Pratchett (purveyors of fine books).

So check it out, all proceeds go to charity.
My own signed and doodled novel, Kinnara sits at lot number 195 (I'm nowhere near as famous as Mr Gaiman).

So please give it some consideration. Plenty of books to choose from, and you'll be blessed with good karma for at least a month!

Trish Good Omens hardcover with Neil's AND Sir Pratchett's signature! OK, who's gonna help me rob a bank?!

P.S.: Thanks, Kevin for pointing this out. Despite stalking following NG on Twitter, I was not aware of this.

Thanks, Trish.
I'd imagine that non-UK residents could bid for his signed pic? I honestly don't know. It'll definitely get snapped up!

Well, I signed up and it let me. *lol* Entirely possible that I'll get an e-mail later, telling me it wasn't allowed. I bid on Greg Jenner's book (I already have the audio but the hardback would be nice too, the money is for a good cause and the book is gonna be cheaper than the hardback in the stores here). No way I can afford that Good Omens copy. :(

Oh, wow!
Great work, Trish.
I hope you get it, but I'm guessing it'll fetch a lot more than £50.
Crossing my fingers for you.
And thank you for helping Children in Need!

Trish No no no no. Not the Gaiman one. *lol* I wouldn't bid on a print anyway. The book I was interested in but they are already at £121 so I'm out before I was ever in. The other book is currently at £7 so that's affordable. ;)


message 8: by Kevin (new)

Kevin Ansbro Ah, gotcha.
I'm guessing that, rather like eBay, people will come in at the 11th hour with frantic bids, so who knows what Good Omens will fetch!
Let's hope the one you have your eye on slips under the radar.
Good luck, Trish!

Trish Yeah, I guess so too - I'm horrible at it. Even if I had the money, I'd probably lose every auction just for not being smart enough to do it right. *lol* Oh well, better then that I don't have the money. :P
On the other hand, it's cool if they go for as much as possible since it's for a good cause, which means I couldn't really begrudge someone outbidding me.

Well said, Trish. My sentiments exactly.

Leila Thank you for this Kevin. I will try for a couple and keep my fingers crossed. I've never been to an auction before but it's a challenge! Also of course a worthy cause too. LOL.

Good for you, Leila.
The books aren't just signed (that would be boring), many of them have quirky messages and scribbled drawings in them!
Thank you for helping Children in Need!
