I can't even begin to imagine how much this signed book would go for -- nine days and counting.
Still, you could go for a cheaper alternative: a Gollum photograph signed by Andy Serkis (you folks did watch The Taming of Smeagol documentary, didn't you?), an autographed poster for $18.99, an autographed photo with 12 signatures for $29.99, or (okay, this isn't cheaper) a display case with the One True Ring, signed by Frodo, Sam, Gollum and Sauron ($450 and counting). Wouldn't these make great gifts for your Ringgeek loved ones?
(Speaking of mania, Madeline and I already have our advance tickets for ROTK on the 18th.)
(And speaking of better gifts, particularly for Viggoheads: Mr. Mortensen himself is a co-editor of Twilight of Empire: Responses to Occupation, and he's in fine company here, with Medea Benjamin, Mike Davis, Amy Goodman, Amir Hussain and Ambassador Joseph Wilson, among others. It's out on his own Perceval Press.
And if you're not in the mood for anything explicitly political -- Aragorn has been quite outspoken many times, bless him -- his book Coincidence of Memory features his paintings, photographs and poetry.)
