That would be a great gift indeed.
I have some books signed by Jack Vance, the great SF writer, specifically aimed at me. To Kurt from his friend Jack Vance it says. I met him when i was perhaps 7-8 years old and he was a dinnerguest of my father and he somehow took a liking to me. A month later when he was back in the states a paket drops in with three books comes for me. One was The Wind In The Willows and two other classic children books. I still treasure them.

Which one have you been waiting on? Their stuff is top notch, but they definitely take their time.
I can't even remember which one. It's an anthology, that I remember. Title escapes me. One reason was given that the signature sheets were lost enroute to the last author to sign them and they had to start over from scratch and resend the sheets out.
