At the Amazon.com book auction area [[1]], the first featured auction as of now (bidding ends around noon EST) is _The Hundred: The Undead. The Book Sail's Sixteenth Anniversary Catalogue_ (Look, I just cut and paste; I'm not responsible for puns or spelling.) Anyway, this is one of 400 in a numbered edition (it doesn't say which number) signed by Elvira and some less well-known names... > All 400 copies have been hand-numbered using an ink compound > containing human blood. Mclaughlin Press, Orange, CA., 1984. A > catalogue specializing in the works of Robert Bloch, H. P. Lovecraft, > Ray Bradbury, and many other writers of the horror and science fiction > genres. A must for collectors, and neophytes as well. In fine condition > with occasional soiling.
