I've decided to sell my collection of all things Monty... I'm a bit
sad, but it's okay... I still love him and I am glad I spent years
collecting the memorabilia, but I need the space, so I've put the
whole thing up for auction on Ebay:

SHIPPING INFORMATION:

I'm assuming the person who buys this is a either a big fan or a big
collector, so you tell me how you want it shipped. This box weighs
27 pounds. I will be shipping from Hamilton Ontario, Canada, so for
shipping via Canada Post, please check the website at
www.canadapost.ca. From what I can gather it will be a minimum of
$50 CAN shipping to the US. If you want it Fed Exed or Air Mailed,
you must specify and pay ACTUAL SHIPPING CHARGES plus $5 handling
fee for my rubbermaid bin and packing materials.



A little bit about me:

I am a huge Montgomery Clift fan, and lovingly collected these items
over the years from Ebay, fellow fans (in the fan club) and in pawn
shops. I was a library technician for many years, and took pains to
cover and restore many of the books. The paperbacks have been
repaired and strengthened. The hardcovers are covered. I do not
have a basement -- these items were all kept in my apartment, and
thus are in good environmental shape. The 1948 Life Magazine had
been stored in a basement prior to my purchasing it, but it's lost
it's musty smell almost completely. All other items show some sign
of their age, but the pictures show, they are all in good shape and
were well taken care of.
