There was someone that mentioned they were looking for some but I didn't hear back from them again. If you are interested in all or some copies, let me know what rides code to send them to :) Also, when they were originally received/cataloged here they were never covered in a plastic dust jacket. I recently endured a paper cut doing so for another book so I am refraining from the *lovely* task for now.
