Done! Thanks, jkt and JC! It is the perfect metaphor!
The ReUsePeople and the F451 Bookends Project are allowing RB to "Live Forever" as they protects our books and the wonders they hold. As in the conclusion of Fahrenheit 451 when Book People did exactly the same.

All remaining sets have been sold. There are none left to be had from ReUse People. And I know who got the last two sets. :-)

I was wavering a bit, and thinking about breaking down and getting a set...oh well. Guess that makes my decision easier.

dandelionThis totally sucks, as I have discovered does most everything in life and probably a lot of things in death as well.

What a cheeky price - 451 dollars! If I were British (and I am, in fact) I might say that the eBay seller is taking the p***.
