Canon "Lens Work" Book Auction.

OK people, got a quandary here and need you help.
I have had this for many years it was given to me by a good friend now deceased, when I bought an EOS1n and a few EF lenses from him. I don't have any Canon gear (Sony/Zeiss instead) and want to do something with this.
It could be worthless, but I do know there are a lot of EF aficionado's on this forum so here goes. It's too nice to go out with the recycle.
I would like to "auction" this publication, with the entire proceeds going to the running of this forum. I have Mikes consent with this. It is not some form of rear end (I'm not allowed to type a@*e there am I?) licking, I firmly believe in putting a bit back, and I have been involved in this group long enough to cherish it.
OK, to business. 7 days, bid on the listing, so anyone can see, highest bidder gets it, I post it to you, you pay Mike, somehow.

Canon Lens Work. Approximately 190 pages, reference, tips, advice and blow by blow of the series of EF lenses that were current when it was written, soft cover. Printed 1992.
Starting bid AU$1.
Go for it.
Gary

Certainly. Difficult to make a flat subject like this attractive, especially at night, but you get the idea.

Thank you Leon. Wow, thought you might want to go up in $1 increments, LOL, but then again, the money is for a good cause.
Nope, I'll pay the post, that was the deal. & days from when I listed, about 12 hours ago.

I have Lens Work III, picked it up in an op shop in HOibart, it's a brilliant thing to have for Canon buffs.

Sorry Leon, but I think we are off track here.
It is an "auction" with everyone able to see what the cost is.
It was set down for 7 days, from the time/date I listed it.
Starting bid $1.
As much as I would like to finish it up here and now, I am really bound to let it run, sorry. Bank details will be whatever Mike deems the money should be deposited into, the proceeds are going to the forum after all.
