Dear fellow writers, collectors, and booksellers... I'll cut right to it.

My friend Sean has a pretty bad case of cancer... two young boys... a wonderful wife... a career working with adults with special needs... a desperate financial situation... an incredibly high (I'd say 'criminal') deductible... and very few options.

I'm asking if you'd be willing to donate a signed copy of a 1st edition of any one (or more!) of your traditionally published books to help in a fundraiser I'm organizing.
