Chris,

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I've been looking for this for years! I'm currently the high bidder and hope to stay that way. :-)

Yours truly,

Tom, you and Howard apparently are bidding against each other, because he said elsewhere earlier that he had the high bid. Maybe you two should talk to not try to outdo each other.

Or you could file for joint custody and work out visitation rights... After all, you want to do what's best for the book.

That's assuming either of you are even still in the running... The bidding is really getting up there. Man, whenever Chris links to an eBay auction it skyrockets. I'll have to see if I can get him to link to the next item I put up for sale to see if that magic continues.

Tell me about it Dan--the seller ought to give Chris a cut. I should ask Chris to help me sell my POS Nissan Maxima (1985).

$300--Howard can make that in two hours at Chippendale's :-)

Dear Jon....Thats a good idea. In fact, I e-mailed my spous..I mean,friend Tom and told him I would pull out of the running,so he could have it...but being the beeyotch he is, he won't respond.

Dan...Thats a good idea too [ I knew you would figure out what to do about our little Patristic Jr. ] ...I could and would gladly let Tom have custody of the book on the weekends,while I go off and dance at local bars like The All Fours Lounge and as Dave mentioned, Chippendales...

Dave: I couldn't draw flies at a Texas barbecue with my dancing ! You're much too kind,my man !

Howard's repeated (like 12 times) bidding has ran my cost up some $175. And I'm the bad guy? :-) Of course I want that book! Strange that Ivor's been so silent, though. Hmmm...

Yours truly,

.....weeell, it wasn't too many years ago I photocopied a 'leading' Ripper book, of 541 pages to be exact, and mailed it off to a fellow budding Ripperologist in Russia of all places, who was desperate for anything on the subject.

Sleep well Tom.
:-)

Tom,

The bidding has only just begun. Perhaps Ivor is awaiting the final countdown.

Hi Tom

I hope your bid is successful. If you look on the last page shown on the auction listing, among the "critical notes" in the last line of St. John, 1, 1, you will see that there is a Bishop Westcott who is mentioned. Serendipity?

All my best

Chris

Yeah...and the passage says..

"Yea,though thou be from humble stock,fear not,as the Beast from the East shall refrain from umbrage and heavy loads and bidding against ye,Oh Lord,and thy harvest shall contain the book of they dreams.."- St.John, 1-2

Just xerox it for me...

Tom Wescott,
What happened to the "Patristic Gospels" that was on sale at EBay? I clicked on the link and they said that it was no longer available. I don't need the actual book but would be interested in what was written in it.

Dear Tim:

That copy was purchased by a collector of Bibles. Occasionally, Chris Scott lists things that are available on the thread "Ebaywatch".

If I see it on sale again,I'll let you know.
