    OhOhOh!!! I want the journal from Alan Rickman. Unfortunately all the signed things go for way more money then I could possibly imagine spending on one item. I'm so poor!

    I think its great that they give to such a fantastic charity. I see some classic books in there which is awesome. I'm sure those with leprosy, AIDS, and HIV are really glad to have books. It's nice to see that actors really care about those less fortunate than themselves.
