The envelope with the extra pane of stamps came through the U.S. post! On a phone call with Henry I learned that he wanted to know if his San Seriffe stamps would work in the U.S. post. He said that at worst the envelopes he sent would be trashed. He mailed them to himself as the address on the envelope indicates: "To: An American friend / c/o Bird & Bull Press / 2 Jericho Mountain Road / Newtown Pa. USA 18940."  When he got it he was delighted to have skunked the feds and he sent that envelope to his subscribers in the same box as he mailed the slip-cased book. The envelope with the letter and extra pane of stamps was not meant to be part of the boxed volume. It was a separate thing altogether. They came as a package but clearly the envelope was not meant to fit into the box." <br/><br/> San Serriffe Pub.

Signed by Alan Simpson on the half-title page "Merry Christmas!! Alan Simpson." In fine condition. When former Sen. Alan Simpson first joined Erskine Bowles former Clinton White House chief of staff as co-chairs of a bipartisan commission created to find ways to reduce the nation's budget deficit he joked that it was a "suicide mission." In his presentation of their final report Simpson remarked "Many members of Congress have privately told us they would be willing to make the tough votes for ambitious tax and spending reforms as part of a substantive fiscal plan but only if members on the other side jump in the canoe at the same time. This is the moment of truth for lawmakers who share our concern about our nation's fiscal future. They can return to the era of deficit denial or they can stand up for future generations." unknown books

As my enthusiasm grew so did my pile of papers - colored with dyes named indigo leaf green tobacco ultramarine madder purple bergamot yellow.
