A slightly belated notice that we're near the end of this year's Con or Bust auction, which is run by run by Kate Nepveu under the auspices of the Carl Brandon Society, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, and which helps people of color attend SFF conventions. The auction finishes on Sunday, March 6, 2011, at 11:59 p.m. EST (GMT -5), to be precise. (Five hours before our Readers' Poll.) You can browse the full list of auctions here -- items available include various signed books, or requests for blog posts by various people, plus an array of arts and crafts -- or see the two assortments of ex-review copies we've put up for auction here and here. If you see something you like, details of how to bid are here.
