Quote from: Sean_A on January 13, 2020, 06:37:52 AMCheers. I forgot I have a copy of the limited edition version. I was even more surprised to find it was signed by you in 2008? I have no memory of purchasing the book. I do recall buying the photo edition, though much earlier than 2008. Any recall of how I came to have a signed copy? I only sold ~850 of the original 1000 books at the time (pre internet) and had the rest lying around the garage, so a few years ago I sold a bunch of those at the original $100 price and donated the proceeds to charity.(Until someone violated the spirit of the deal by reselling a book online for much more.)

It sucks when the memory goes!Ciao

I knew about it from Tom Ramsay printing single critiques of Australian courses in his newspaper column years before - so I assume he had one of the original 40?Yes, Tom Ramsay had one of the original 40 books.I am traveling today so I can't check tge date of the limited edition, but I gave away the first 80 of those to everyone who attended the inaugural Renaissance Cup at High Pointe, and I'm pretty sure that was in the fall of 1994. So I would question your memory on the year you first found one.
