Re: Monograph Misunderstandings


First; As explained before Francesca was a friend and I have been involved with the Aril Society and the Thoolen Family from the beginning trying to help fulfill Francescabs Will and see that her Iris stuff was placed in the appropriate ways. There seems to be a great deal of misunderstanding.
First Francescas and the wishes of the Aril Society preclude paying anything as a commission to AIS.
Second there is NO cost to AIS involved. There is NO liability since the Book will never really be in the hands of AIS. It is being held at convention in the hands of Lyn Wilson and she has sole responsibility for its well-being. Why then is any talk of insurance I do not understand. It is not AISbs problem. It you wish to insure the poster that will be in the auction, advertizing the book I estimate it as less then $5.00. 
The offering of this in the silent auction only enhances the interest in the AIS Silent auction. But if that is a problem ASI has no problem separating itself from the AIS activities. Payment will be made through the ASI Paypal account not AIS. 
Despite all sorts of wonderful values being tossed out for the book if there are no bidders above $750 the book will be held in reserve for another time, But I think many of the estimates of value are hugely distorted. The book is in good condition but not perfect. 
AIS does not provide insurance for ASI as it does for sections. There is no liability even indirectly. ASI was doing AIS a favor but if they can not handle that then we withdraw the offer. The answer is up to AIS and we need one this week so we can say what is being done in the ASI newsletter that is due now.
