Re:

I am now thinking of going to ted.. ghisline said that you guys might have an extra ticket. true?

ok,

I gave my own ticket to Ghislaine, as I have been helping Chris. I will see what I can do without any promises.

Tried, but Chris said "overbooked." I had only one ticket and gave it to G. Sorry.

TED has way too many people.

I know you like books. In the middle of selling the first edition of Caxton's Mirrour of the Worlde, 1481. Complete copy, and belonged to Thomas Cramner, who was Henry IV's right hand man, burned alive at the stake. It is the first scientific book published in England, first illustrated English book, and first English book that has a map. Really a lovely item. This copy sold at Christies back in 1998 for over 850,000 U.S., and hasn't seen the light of the market since then, as it is been locked up in a private collection. It is the only complete copy outside of an institution. Only 11 complete copies are known, of this is one.

Fun stuff.
