Of the 100, 50 are as pictured below and will be made available only as gifts for people who donate $100 or more. The other 50 have slightly different endsheets, and have been given as gifts to the 50 people who have offered the most indispensable assistance to CrimethInc. in the past five years (it is too late to get on that list now).</p> <h3>How To Get One</h3> <p>Only 50 copies of this edition will ever be made publicly available, and will be offered exclusively as gifts in return for donations of $100 or more. There will never be any other printings, and the books will never be available for smaller donations, regardless of how long it takes to reach 50 donations of $100. They are available on a first-come, first-serve basis (if you are reading this, it means copies are still available). In addition to the book, donations of $100 or more also include up to 500 copies of FFOL. All books will be mailed via Priority Mail and come in a protective and resealable mylar sleeve. <a href="http://www.buyolympia.com/crimethinc/temp.html">You can donate $100 here.</a></p> </blockquote> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/veganstraightedge/158942158/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://static.flickr.com/46/158942158_2567732c67_m.jpg" alt="days of war, nights of love ne plus ultra edition"></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/veganstraightedge/158942132/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://static.flickr.com/61/158942132_9ad295e405_m.jpg" alt="days of war, nights of love ne plus ultra edition"></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/veganstraightedge/158942022/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://static.flickr.com/70/158942022_41d02390ba_m.jpg" alt="days of war, nights of love ne plus ultra edition"></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/veganstraightedge/158942071/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://static.flickr.com/75/158942071_f39783fa9c_m.jpg" alt="days of war, nights of love ne plus ultra edition"></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/veganstraightedge/158941997/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://static.flickr.com/58/158941997_29de67ca34_m.jpg" alt="days of war, nights of love ne plus ultra edition"></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/veganstraightedge/158941954/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://static.flickr.com/74/158941954_7f3e0685e7_m.jpg" alt="days of war, nights of love ne plus ultra edition"></a></p>
