books are good.

Want want want want want. Such an amazing book (and one I can't afford).

We would love to have this beautiful book! *crossing fingers*

wow--a wonderful idea for a book and a very special gift.

looks very cool! When I clicked on the link though, it's listed at $35. Is that just the book, and the poster is worth more? (not that I care, I'm just curious.)

This would be fun to peruse with my granddaughter, when she gets old enough.

This is on my favorite list for the holiday's, I hope I win.

Eliza,
I think this is the fine press edition which is "hand-bound in leather with an engraved book cover & letter-press interior, including gold leaf and hand stamped edges & end papers." which I got from the Chronicle site giveaway page.

I just put this down as one of the things I'm going to buy my husband. He loves this kind of stuff.

But so do I.

My family would love this book!!!!!

I'm such a wordie, I would love to have this!

This would be a special gift, would love to have it

This would be a great win!

This is looks so cool! Thanks in advance for the opportunity to win :)

I am a word and picture freak - a good word with a good picture is as exciting as a resalvaged designer chair against a new, bold paint color. Great gift!

What a great book! I can think of very few people who would not love this as a Christmas gift.

I've been eyeing this book for weeks. I would so love to win this!

The owner of a Denver bookstore once told me, "I own only one book at home, and that's a dictionary." I like that kind of efficiency.

LOVE it!!!!!!!!

Is it weird to get exited over a book...I mean like really exited...cause that's me....exited I mean, not the book. Well obviously I am not a book....so I would have to be exited....right!?

Uplifting, inspiring book!!

A book collector's dream!

This would be great.

Oh, want!

I would love to have this book. Of course, my Mum, the English teacher, might just steal it from me ;)

What's great about this book is that you can actually see and appreciate when words just don't do justice. As a bio major, it would be an amazing reference book for a beginners library!

I followed the video link GadoraWilder posted and..........WOW!
If you are lucky enough to win this gift you must watch the story of the craftsman who restored this book and the process the wonderful leather bound volume (I think is the one being given away) has gone through. This book was created with love and passion....what a wonderful gift he gave to all of us by saving these etchings from obscurity and restoring the printing so we can all enjoy them again.

Got my fingers crossed.....santa?

Come on Santa!

I actually was about to buy this book for my sister! now, i'll wait... The holidays are soooo tight this year :( it would be great if....

I've been lusting over this book for months...

for me or for..?

I love this book. yes!

i'm such a fan of books like these, so inspirational and beautiful at the same time. i would give it a good home :).

This will make a great companion piece to the Cabinet of Natural Curiosities. Yay!

I need a dictionary/pictionary...that is what this is, right?

Oh, being an English major has totally gotten me to nerd over this! I want I want I want!

Holy vintage illustrations, Batman!

Ahh! There is a documentary on the creator of this book! Oh my gosh, you'll all appreciate the book so much more once you watch it!

If I'm not lucky enough to win this, I'm going to buy it!!!

I LOVE it!

I love books

this looks fantastic.

Finally, a dictionary I want to read cover-to-cover!

want want want! I was drooling over this book at a bookstore a few weeks ago.

This is so cool!

My library will not be complete til this lovely book is in it!

Neat!

Brilliant!

i read picture books.

I've been eyeing this gorgeous book

kwim* stares and hopes

Oh, wow, I take back my comment. I didn't realize this was a special edition copy (it isn't shown on the chronicle books webpage). What a lovely book!

This is silly, but is there anyway to withdraw yoursef from a contest you've entered? I know I'm not likely to win anyway, but I didn't realize the book was leather and I'm not into that, personally!

I've been asking for this for christmas... now is my chance to get it! please...

simply gorgeous

I would love this.

This is fantastic!

Our last independent bookstore closed last June...missing it dearly.

I want to crack this book open badly!!!!!
