Spiderwebart Helps out NYC
- Xoanon @ 19:12 PST And for anyone you would like to forward this to! HELP us help the fallen fire fighters and EMS workers families in New York. Spiderwebart Gallery has just purchased the entire remaining inventory of the Hildebrandt's Special Limited, Signed, and Numbered Edition of their Tolkien art book. There are only 620 copies left from the original print run of 1,000 pieces. We bought all of them! As part of our effort to raise money for the families of the fallen Fire Fighters and EMS workers in New York, Greg and Tim Hildebrandt and Spiderwebart will be selling these 620 books now with a double Remarque (original sketch) instead of just the single Remarque as previously offered. One sketch will be a Lord of the Rings image. One sketch will be a tribute to the fallen Fire Fighters and the EMS workers in New York. $50 From the sale of each book will be donated directly to the New York Firefighters 9-11 Disaster Relief Fund. This money will go directly to the families of the fallen fire fighters and EMS personnel in New York City. Together we can make a difference! The 2nd Remarque is an original Tolkien character sketch that Greg and Tim will do on the BACK end paper of each book.

You may have friends that would like to own a copy of this unique book. Please let them know about this effort. Spiderwebart is a small internet art gallery with an enormous desire to try and help in this tragedy. All of us here and all of you have been touched by the events of September 11th. I'm sure you have all been overwhelmed by emails of different ways to help and have already donated something. So I apologize now if this email in any way causes you additional overwhelm. My mother and brother's apartment is at ground zero, three blocks from the twin towers. And although they are physically OK, their trauma is horrible. I personally thank God for the Fire Fighters and EMS workers who were there to help get them out. So once more I apologize ahead of time if this email in any way causes additional overwhelm for anyone. But I feel the need to do something and this is what I can do. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!!!! To our international customers: Due to the increasing amount of credit card fraud on the internet it is very difficult for us to accept credit card orders from overseas. We do not wish to make it difficult for you to order from the gallery. So we have just joined a service called BILL POINT. If you wish to place an order with a credit card from overseas please type in the comments box on our order form that you agree to use Bill Point. We will forward the invoice to them and they will contact you for processing of the credit card. For the past four years, Spiderwebart has been gathering the E-mail addresses of everyone who has come to our site and typed in their address. If you are receiving this announcement you are one of those people. Or you have bid on one of our EBAY Auctions. We DO NOT sell our email list! If you wish to be removed from this list please reply to this E-mail and we will remove your address immediately. Thank you for your patronage in the past. We hope to hear from you soon. Sincerely, Jean L. Scrocco - Curator
