Poll question: Oh..the horrors...
Edited on Sun Dec-19-10 04:06 PM by AsahinaKimi

Do you...

15. Graciously say "thank you for the gift"--- then give her something by Richard Dawkins.
She's left you an opening to hit her with pretty much any piece of reading you choose.

18. eBay will be so overrun with copies , the price would be zilch.
Bring to back to the store for a credit. Tell old auntie you already bought one and ask her to give you the receipt so you can buy something else.

27. Some of you are in luck..
Just out of curiosity, I went to Ebay to see what the range was for an autographed version of Going Rogue.

Highest was: $395.00
Lowest was: $.99
