They certainly are, and they certainly will be.

These books won't be seeing ebay, not while I still draw breath.

Haha, thanks :)

When I got the parcel I opened it up carefully, then checked my hands, "They look clean enough, they're fine, I'm sure they'll be okay" ... washed them anyway :D

Definitely no eating or drinking anywhere near them, ever.

I just need to perfect my carbonite preservation system and I'll be good.

I also like that John signed the books in his home. Makes it even more personal.
It is such a powerful and beautiful quote!

I wondered if Råmansö was where he lives, that is awesome!

It is also not far away from where Oskar's father lives, and the cottage in LTODD. Full circle! :D

It is charging as I type this.

That..is so awesome :) Just seeing that makes me glad to be apart of this forum and community

Again, congrats Jameron...and I hope you enjoy Little Star (for my money, it's still the best thing that I think JAL has written so far)
