[...] of prices etc. Unfortunately, I appear to not be quite a flush as some of the other bidders. The Philip Reeve book is now double what I could (at an over-stretch) afford. Boo. If you yourself are finding that [...]
I bid £140. I love Mr. Reeves work and have collected the entire Mortal Engines sequences in hardcover.
I bid £140
I bid £145
Dear Mr. Reeve,
I’m what you call a “kindly old man” and I can see that Ali B. is as big a fan of your brilliant work as I am.
I’ll raise my bid to £150 and I wonder, if Ali matched my bid, you would consider allowing 2 winners?
Ali, since this for such a good cause, if Mr. Reeve can not accept my proposal, if you raise you bid to £175, I’ll drop out of further bidding.
If I won, I was going to request a dedication to myself and my 3 beloved cats and ask that you sketch Grike with my 3 cats on or near him
.
I’ll be waiting anxiously for your response. I’m in Nevada, USA GMT-8 (I think) PST.
Dear Mr Barish,
That sounds more than reasonable; I think I can rustle up an extra hardback copy. I can’t promise a very good likeness of the cats, but I’ll do my best!
Philip
Mr. Reeve,
Thank you!
Ali, are you in?
I’m SO excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bid 160 GBP.
I see another bidder has offered £160. I’ll offer £170. It’s for a great cause.
I’ll match that 170 from Ali if that’s OK Mr. Reeve.
I agree that this is a great cause.
It is a great cause, so I bid 175 GBP.
OK, I’ll go to 180 GBP. Maybe Philip, Bill, Ali and Jed can all move somewhere together and pass it around
I do believe the cats and I have got it!
Bill and Ali, you can buy a signed copy at:

for GBP 13.
Bless you both for caring so much about our unfortunate brothers and sisters in Japan.
Mr. Reeve,
Please let m know where to send a phoo of the cats. I understand that they won’t look identical and I’ll b thrilled with whatever the outcome.
Thank you for your generosity.

Ali,
I think Mr. Reeve would let you get a copy by matching my GBP 180 bid. Why don’t you write and ask him?
