Take a look at the link at the top left of my page. For one month only, buy me a book from my Amazon book list (some for as little as £5), leave your name and address in a 'gift note' and I'll send you an original giclee print of the launch of the first QI annual and the QI book of General Ignorance at the QI private members club in Oxford. For those of you who are interested in such things, it features the QI authors and producers, John and Sarah Lloyd (John also produced Blackadder amongst many other telly and radio programmes); John Mitchinson and many of the QI elves.
It's an event I was privileged to attend and the result is quite a historic artefact (and really does show what the QI club kept in the attic).
The full colour Giclee print is an impressive A3 in size (29 x 42xm or 11.7 x 16.5 inches). It's printed with pigment inks (estimated lifespan at least 200 years) on high quality acid-free paper. Each print in this limited edition is signed and numbered. It will be sent in flat pack in the UK and rolled for international buyers. I'll bear all postage costs so I think this one is a Quite ridiculously good deal. Quite a few people bought the print for £50 so I guess they're feeling a bit silly now...
If you're interested but need to ask me any questions, feel free to email me or leave them in the comments box. Think of it as my very own New Years Sale. Here's the print in all its glory - double click to have a closer look. Christmas isn't over for any of us yet...
I have ordered a print, and bought you a book!
What a lovely idea. All best, Justin x

Arghh, Molly, Amazon printed your address on such a tiny slip of paper that I immediately lost it. While I know its around here somewhere, I'm trying to get hold of it via other QI personae. But, if you see this, please email your address to me again (via the button on the top right). Thanks so much. I'm mortified...

Molly, thanks for your address. Your print's gone out to you.
Andy - thanks so much for the late entry! That's a book I've wanted to read for some time. I'll send out your print on Monday.
Tim, your book looks like it may be stuck in some Royal Mail pigeonhole somewhere, but I got the dispatch note from Amazon so I know it's on its way will send your print out anyway as I don't like to think of you pining for it...
Thanks again to everyone who took up my offer. Hope you enjoy the print as much as I'm enjoying the books!
