The first 750 HOE Leatherettes were numbered and signed by Shane (mine is
#99) when the game was first released at Origins 2000. I think I heard
they'd recently stumbled across two boxes of leatherettes that somebody had
discovered in their basement, which is maybe where yours came from. Not
that I don't think you should feel special, but it *is* possible that there
is no Leatherette edition that Shane didn't sign. But even so, it *is* a
nice touch. I think from what we've seen with the AEG and CG partnerships
breaking up, there's just nothing that man wouldn't do to make sure he puts
out the best game he possibly can. 

If he didn't sign your book... got four little letters for ya: SASE. =)
