Help
Ran across one of these this afternoon. And I know there are still folks here looking for one.
It's in decent shape. Most notable is the back bottom corner (page-side, not spine-side) which has been crushed in slightly. Otherwise, it's actually pretty good for a (obviously) used MMPB. I'm thinking cover price of $8 plus shipping. Pics available upon request.
First come, first serve. Even if you're not first, post anyway, and I'll come back to this list when/if I find another copy somewhere down the line.

"Here is light. You will say that it is not a living entity, but you miss the point that it is more, not less. Without occupying space, it fills the universe. It nourishes everything, yet itself feeds upon destruction. We claim to control it, but does it not perhaps cultivate us as a source of food? May it not be that all wood grows so that it can be set ablaze, and that men and women are born to kindle fires?"

For anyone who doubts Saltman, don't. He will deliver you this book in the finest, coddled, wrapped condition possible and it is exactly as promised.

I'm pretty sure Quick has a copy, he just hasn't read it yet (the bastard!)

that was me, and I believe we can come to some sort of arrangement if you don't mind shipping to Norway.

Morgoth, shoot me a PM with your address, and I'll look into it.

SMZ, it's awesome what you're doing with these copies of BoT. These can be a pain in the ass to find and when you can get them places tend to charge an arm and a leg. Keep up the awesomeness.

Thanks, guys. I know I could be making a little more (okay, probably a lot more) cash putting these on eBay or something, but man that'd just be too much work; I'm just happy to be spreading the Gospel of (F@#$ing) Stover.
Morgy, I got your book packed up tonight. Amph would be proud.

Put me on the list for one of these, please. If you run across one at any point this year.
I have the series scheduled to read near the end of the year. I can do the digital copy if I need to, but I haven't got used to digital stuff yet.

Good catch! Stateside fans, it's only $10 total.

My copy (tradeback) just arrived. Reasonable condition, considering it's fairly old now and has been read a couple of times.

I'll ship just about anywhere for cover price plus shipping!
Right now, it looks like the waiting list is:
1. JLV
2. Tapper
3. champ
I've got a copy for JLV, but he doesn't seem to have been around for a month. If I don't hear from him in the next day or two, Tapper's got dibs.
