There wasn't a store within a 200 mile radius that had any of these. It's wonderful to live out here in the relatively uninhabited countryside, but it does have its drawbacks. :roll:

Many thanks to Leslie who let me know that stores in Seattle still had the lithographs and was willing to stop by and pick one up for me! I couldn't risk them running out and the store didn't have a way to ship them to me, but it started me on the hunt for another store that would! And thanks, too, to holydove.

Strictly Discs was wonderful to work with and went out of their way to make this possible. I'll be sending them a thank-you note, but it might be nice to drop by there for those who are able to go to Madison this summer!

Makes me smile to think of all these lithos hanging on your walls. 8)

They don't seem to have them available in Canada. Are there still any extras out there that anyone is willing to get their hands on for me? It is a lovely lithograph.

I've checked every Barnes and Noble within 50 miles and none have the lithograph. As much as I like the one that came with the album, I REALLY, REALLY want the "Muse" litho! Kelsey or Leslie....do you have access to any more of the lithographs? I'll call the store in Spokane tomorrow but I'm sure they will be gone. Any help appreciated. :)

I still have an extra. I have something else I need to mail to Diana, so it would be easier if I sent my extra to her. But, Sochijava posted first. Holydove - would you be able to get one to Sochijava???

Kelsey to the rescue! Thank you SO very much! It never ceases to amaze me what can be accomplished by the "Leonard loop" of friends, whether it be sharing information, a vine, books, cd's...or lithographs! Much appreciated :D

Thank you for showing us the size compared to the cd.

and thank you Kelsey for the connection to the record seller in Madison.

Honestly Leonard Cohen fans blow me away ... there are so many wonderful/caring/generous people amongst them.

I only have a minute now, but will check in with everyone this afternoon. I should have enough lithos now for everyone who has asked so far! And maybe extras too.

The poster isn't that big. You can frame the poster alone without the song below or the whole thing of course. Its a lovely.
There is also a wide white border around it.
Its on nice paper though not as nice as the lithograph is. That came yesterday to me and is very nice on beautiful paper stock.
I like it much more in person than looking at it online. In fact I really like it.
Again sorry I couldn't get more of the posters but did make a few people happy and they will get them in the mail soon.
Cheers and hope more people get them.

Hi Kelsey,

I'm so sorry, but all the lithos I ordered have already been claimed (that was fast)!! Sorry to Sochijava too! I wish I had known how many people would be asking for it, as I might have been able to order a few more! None of the stores in my area had any either (one had already sold out, & the others never even heard of it), so I actually ordered them from the Madison store too, & they are shipping them to me, so thank you to Kelsey for having posted their contact info! If I find any more locations that still have it, I will post the info. I do hope everyone's wishes will eventually be granted!

Just got an email from the Madison store saying they're out of lithographs.........doh! :( :( :(
If anyone is prepared to post lithograph to Ireland please get in touch. If it means buying another CD that's fine.
Thanks,
Anne

SUNDAY UPDATE!!!

Well, I'm to blame that the Madison store is out of lithos! I bought the last 5 they had this morning. I wanted to be sure everyone who has asked will be able to get one!

So far, I'll be sending lithos to:
Wendy (mabeanie)
Gwen (musicmania)
Roman (goldin)
Paula (sochijava)
Diana (ladydi)
Mandy (can't remember username - sorry!)
Anne (annmarie)
Margaret (margaret)
Gill


Before adding anyone else to the list, I'd like to make sure the lithos make it here safely and that they haven't made any errors in the order. If there are extras at that point, I'll post here again.

Linda has already gotten her own.

If you haven't already sent me your address, please do so. I'm expecting the lithos by the end of next week and will try to get them out as soon as I can. It will take me a couple of days to get them all packaged up and to the post, but I'll do my best. (I have a 5 and 2 year old who I'm sure will be thrilled to help! Don't worry, I'll keep gooey hands off them!) Again, we can sort out the expenses when I know what the totals will be with shipping.

It makes me happy to have made so many of you happy, so thanks!

Kelsey

Kelsey...if Sochijava is still without a lithograph, go ahead and send mine to her, as she was one of the first to request it. Seems they are disappearing quickly. I have no problem with that....truly.
