Anyone want to buy me a book?

Just spotted a reproduction of a 13th century book of games written for Alfonso X (the Wise) of Spain.  They only want $3950 for it.  It's nonfiction so it wouldn't count against my goal.  You could all go in together and get it for my birthday :)

(Yes - I'm joking! - but it is a cool book)

Well it is cheaper than the pinball game that you want and would fit in our house better. However, it's entirely in Spanish which you can't read! Don't count on any of our friends taking on the task of translating it for you, either. :)

For everyone who doesn't know, Mike's birthday is March 13.

Ah, but I already have a translation! Someone in Arizona is translating it and putting in on-line:

I'll just put that on my CC for you. : )
