First I've ever heard of this book.

DrWatson: I have known him several years and I can say with some absurdness that there isn't anything passive about him. Passive Aggressive spite posting like a B0$$, since 2007.

Some more rarities:
For issue #12 NEC produced four different variant cardstock covers stamped with serial numbers:
Convention Edition (1000 printed)
Diamond Edtion (1000 printed)
Capital City Edition (1000 printed)
Tick Society Edition (2000 printed, must be a MOAV member to get this one)
The picture above is actually of the back covers. The front is the same as regular issue without the logos and a foil stamped tick symbol on chair Tick is sitting on. There is no printing on the inside covers and therefore no indicia.
I don't know why I never joined MOAV to get the last one, dang-it.
