The copy of Merchant of Venice (MoV) with Alice’s torn
out note, lot #590, was my second win. I love books. I really like the Twilight
books a lot more than the movies. There is already a copy of Romeo and Juliet
from New Moon in the Forks Twilight Collection. It needs the company of
Merchant of Venice, Wurthering Heights, and Robert Frost.
Shortly after the catalog for this auction was available,
I asked Lissy Andros and Jack Morrissey if they were going after any of the
books. They said that they weren’t but would make nice addition to the
Collection. So my plotting began.
I should mention that there were available several copies
of MoV books. Most were nice and clean copies with torn out note. There was one
slightly burned with note inside, but not the torn out one. There was a mostly
burned copy as well. I debated between the slightly burned one and a nice clean
copy with the torn out note.
A couple days before end of auction, Jack contacted me
that someone else, Jan Pool, was asking about donating to the Collection a copy
of MoV. I contacted Jan and she was interested in the slightly burned copy. I
decided to go for one of the clean copies with torn out note. The slight burned
copy with the torn out note is the ideal companion to Romeo and Juliet book. I
could donate just the note if they don’t want the clean copy.
It was the fifth copy of the book that I was finally able
to win at a reasonable price. Jan won her lot also. I did battle up to a point
on two other copies. One was already out of my range and somehow missed one
earlier copy. Those battles got me ready for my red blanket battle.
