Oops, missed this the first time 'round...got it via LJ.

Yes. I'm willing to go fairly high myself, but I would be more than 
happy to have my bid reinforced, in case of someone out there with 
deeper pockets than I. Due to the nature of the auction (fast response 
and payment on auction close), I would have to have the additional 
amounts in hand by the time the auction closes...if we lose, any 
payments would be refunded. I think, a minimum of $50 (since that is 
what I was thinking for the donation to the John M Ford Endowment to 
qualify for reading it post auction), with reading priority determined 
by amount, then arrival time[1][2].

Email me off list, if you are interested.

[1] Any amounts that arrived or were pledged after the auction closed 
would start a second circulating list

[2] In the unlikely event of the auction not pushing my limits, all 
amounts would be refunded and circulating order determined by amount and 
time of donation directly to the JMF Endowment.
