Bengal has a tremendous love of books and it's hugely popular.

Every january there is a huge book fair in Kolkata.

Huzzah! Roshni wins! Thanks so much kelly!

I concur - one of the great covers!

Awesome! Congrats to both!

Great score, William!

I have to say, leaving everything else aside, this seems a very reasonable price to me for such a hi grade copy.

No brainer there.

This is such an extraordinary gesture, Kelly! I may actually buy one!!

Meanwhile, quite unfazed by recent events in Rajabazaar, Shahina yesterday attended a learning exchange program involving 8 countries on countering extremism. She really is a remarkable person.

I'm delighted to announce that our second annual sales thread was overwhelmingly successful, raising over $7000. Roshni is financially secure for another year, perhaps two, all depending on what fresh challenges they encounter in the coming year. A big thank you to all who have supported Roshni last year and this. In that two year period you've helped raise over $10,000 - far beyond my wildest dreams.

On a good day I can almost see it.

Somewhere out beyond the boundraies of our reality there is an alternate universe in which Edgar never existed, all GA comics have brittle pages, and the hobby is universally derided. How lucky we are!

Oh, and you can follow the continuing adventures of our plucky heroines here: The Adventures of Roshni

So there we are guys and gals, it's a wrap. The good guys won! Most payments have now been sorted, and packages are winging there way. If I have failed to contact anyone I should have please let me know. You have raised $7077 for Roshni, and you did it in style.

Not only this, but I've just received another donation of $100 from entalmighty1. Thanks so much, Rob!

You guys just let me know, either way!

My God man! Think of the paperwork!

I'll take all of these, as long as you guys don't mind shipping to Canada. and I'll take this.... and I'll take this... And on that note, ladies and gentlemen, we have sold everything!

Thanks Steve - it aint over yet!

It's the plethora of weaker covers that has deterred me from making a serious attempt to complete the set. So there are maybe 20 or more I wouldnt champion, most of them above #40.
