The release date for HIGHSIDE! is still a few months away, but I went to Staples today and created a one-off copy of the novel to be offered for bid at the Wegman Auction.  Here is what is written on the back cover:
--------------------------------------------------------
              EXCLUSIVE COPY:  #1 OF ONE.

This document is the only existing printed copy of the page proofs from my motorcycle roadracing novel, HIGHSIDE!  Page proofs are the final, edited version of a manuscript, and are used to verify its editing before actual production of the hardcover book begins.
The novel is moving toward a projected release date of Fall, 2005.  This single existing printed copy of the page proofs will never be duplicated, and as such may someday have value as a collectable.  If not, the pages will at least be useful as shop rags!  In any case, whoever bids highest and wins these page proofs will at least be able to claim that they were the first to have read the book.
This one-of-a-kind document was created exclusively for the WEGMAN BENEFIT FUND, and all money realized from its sale will be used by the fund to assist injured racers.

I verify that this copy of the page proofs from my novel HIGHSIDE! is the only one of its kind, produced and donated to the Wegman Benefit Fund on 8-13-05, by author "K3" Chris Onwiler.
----------------------------------------------------------
So there it is, boys and girls!  This is for Wegman, so bid high! ;D
The frame was snapped, the #3 rod was dangling from a hole in the cases, and what was left had been consumed by fire.  I said, "Hey, we've got all night!"

Give us a teaser...  Maybe the inside book cover, or back of the book?  (just not the part about the author, we all know about him)

A couple random paragraphs?!? Come on.......

When a man wearing a thick wool sweater walked past.  Oh wait.  That's K3 without a shirt!
