You must remember that the book was a flop as far as sales went, we only printed 1369 books over 5 years. No one wnanted to stock it (everyone said it was too expensive at $50, who is laughin

Signed, well we have already done that and will not do again. Although Ben and I do sign them when we are handed them by their owners. Limited edition with new Monaro, not likely,

He reckoned the problem with the original was that it wasn't marketed. I know it was, but he meant that he'd never heard of it. Unfortunately Ebay didn't exist back then as it does now.
