Madonna TuckerHello I tried to pledge for the 3 of us to go to the A night of gothic romance and I could not change the number from 1-3. Can you help me with that. I was hoping I didnt have to make 3 separate pledges. I paid/pledged $450 so that myself, my husband and my daughter could come together. Can you email me with confirmation that we can do this? Cheers Madonna6mo

John Charles Ellice-FlintBrilliant Initiative . John Mills was an amazing Australian who todate has not received the recognition he rightly deserved . His contribution to the Australian and Allied War effort, printing the vast majority of orders for the Pacific campaign, without due recognition is an Australian War Museum travesity . He worked tirelessly without sleep to ensure the dispatches were sent out on time . 6mo

Archives Fine BooksI'd love to know more about that. 6mo

A tipple for ten

Join Hamish Alcorn for a glass of whiskey and a selection of C. J. Dennis poems which he will read in the back room at Archives Fine Books. When the bottle is empty and the poems digested, Hamish will shout any stayers to a night cap at Frog's Hollow (the whiskey bar next door). Participants in this pledge will also receive a subscriber's copy of the book, with their name listed on the subscriber's page. Hamish says in more civilised times, he would have offered cigars as well. C.J. Dennis is personal favourite of his, and largely overlooked today. Expect to hear a short passionate defense of Dennis' place in the Australian canon, as well as Hamish's reading of his poetry. This is an exclusive one-off offer for 10 people.

Dedication rights PLUS invitations to the night of gothic romance, the book launch AND signed copies!

The book will be dedicated to the person of your choosing! A book dedication is a small section, usually given its own page at the start of a book, where the author gives special mention, acknowledgment or thanks to a person or group of people. To have a book dedicated to you is considered an honour. This is the best way we can think to properly thank the special person that contributes significantly to this project. Plus you will receive an invitation for two to the candle lit night of gothic romance where Marianne Taylor will read from Jane Eyre. And last but not least you will receive 4 tickets to the book's launch, where you will receive 4 signed copies to share with family and friends. NB Shipping for the five signed copies will be added, unless you attend the launch, or choose to collect from 40 Charlotte St, Brisbane.
