Its a good day. My auction for the Monday Night football Computerized game has drwn attention. It has two bids and is now at $6.50. I'm excited! Two bids means we have an auction. As I mentioned about the live auction, it only takes two people wanting the same thing to make an auction happen. Of course that doesn't necessarily apply to on line auctions. One bid and you could own it. Anyway I'm excited that someone is interested enought to at least bid. We have five more days to see where this takes us.
I'd like to go back a minute to yesterday's post. I posed the question. Who is Clarence Jacobs? I don't know if you are like me, but I find this kind of thing very interesting. As I mentioned his penmanship was a little suspect and it was difficult to read the name of his high school. But comparing the letters in the school name with definite words in the manuscript and then doing an Internet search of all the possible combinations, I've come up with the possibility that Clarence could have attended Forney High School in Forney Tx. The school is still in existance and I may make a call down there to see if it is possible that he could have been a student there back in the 1920's. It would be interesting to know more about him. So far no takers on the book and manuscript. That's OK I guess, because if it doesn't sell, it will give me more time to investigate further. Getting some history may make it even more valuable. I have one more clue to follow up, and it could change the whole dynamic of my search for Clarence Jacobs. As I mentioned in an earlier post, the key to success buying books is to look at the whole book not just the cover. Tomorrow I will reveal the other secret treasure that I discovered in " The Mill on the Floss" that may knock your socks off.
