“Dead letters” for KPFA auction

UPDATE form Steven Marcus 1/30/12: “I will also be including one of my Grateful Dead Productions Business cards, and unused ticket to one of the Europe 1990 shows, an original printing of Robert Hunters Elegy for Jerry that he recited at Jerry’s funeral (there were two printings the first one high quality paper and the second on basic heavy paper.) I might put some other things in the book if the bids go higher…”

UPDATE from Steven Marcus 1/28: “Here are three scanned images of the signed copy of Dead Letters for the KPFA Grateful Dead Marathon and auction…Now that you can actually see it, bid higher!!! – smarcus”
