The blank book last year was donated by Baroness Margery de Bray (Maggie to those of us who know and love her).  I had asked her to be a judge for the bardic competition, and as she and Duke Seamus could not make it to Lughnasad, sent the book with a personal inscription.  I would not presume to ask her to do so again, but I am willing to get an appropriate blank book to donate as a prize.  I won't be able to get until at least this weekend, though.
