[VPM] January meeting follow-up

[Darren Duncan]

As a follow-up to the message I sent on Monday after the meeting, quoted below for convenience ...

I have now received the book in the mail.  (And in record time - less than 3 days, compared to several weeks for the first one).

It is signed by the artists and inscribed 'To the Victoria Perl Mongers'.

So I now have the book on hand for a future meeting door prize.

This is in case you weren't at the meeting and want to see what's inside.  Note also that 99% of the comics in it are also (and were originally) free on the above website.  The website has over 400 of them, usually produced at a rate of 3 per week (MWF).
