Cool - the bag went for $727, and people paid between $78 and $178! for one of ten copies of the limited edition. All in all, a pretty nice haul.

not any more *yawn* than most things.
On another charity auction front, looks like handwriting is a better bet than typesetting.

perhaps Gary can auction off his production notes...(with skull drawings)

Sorry Sii, I've been Helveticaed to death. Helvetica numb. And if I read of one more PR stunt from Helvetica I'm going puke eggnog all over my 'puter screen.
Happiness of holidays to you too!

I agree! But thanks to everyone who bid on the benefit auction stuff.
I wonder what typeface we'll be groaning about December 25th, 2008?
Happy Holidays all!

I’m still loving Helvetica. My parents bought me the 1912 ATF specimen book for my birthday, so I showed them Jonathan Hoefler discussing the 1923 edition in the extras so they could have some clue why they just paid $200 for a water-damaged book.
