Davis Guggenheim directed this award-winning movie which rocked the 
world; not only because it truly brought the documentary genre into the 
mainstream, but created universal awareness of the very real impact of 
global warming. Compellingly presented by Al Gore, this movie has 
turned people around the world into active participants in the fight to 
limit the effects of global warming. Davis Guggenheim is donating a 
personalized copy of An Inconvenient Truth to the highest bidder.

IDW Hamper

Our good friends at IDW Publishing have donated two very special books 
to the iCommons auction. Mixtionary, by Mia Christou, Scott Lobdell and 
John Nee is a special hardcover guide to communicating efficiently in 
our modern world. This humorous collection of one-liners is perfect for 
those times when newfangled ideas and phenomena leave us at a loss of 
words. Each situation is illustrated by veteran comic artist Shawn 
McManus.
The second item is a deluxe hardcover collection of Chester Gould’s 
timeless comic strip, Dick Tracy. This volume contains nearly 500 comic 
strips from the series’ early years, which ran from May 1933 through 
January 1935. This special volume features an introduction from 
Consulting Editor and long-time Tracy writer Max Allan Collins, as well 
as an interview between Collins and creator Chester Gould. This is a 
classic piece of comic book history.

A Set of Four Classic and Contemporary Bollywood Movies Donated by 
Lawrence Liang (DVDs)
http://www.tinyurl.com/3xntux
A brilliant set of four movies that highlight the genius and 
distinctive flare that is Bollywood. The set includes Sholay, a 1975 
adventure-action movie directed by Ramesh Shippy, and billed as “the 
greatest story ever told.” With a little bit of everything thrown in 
for good measure, from romance to drama, this is a perfect collector’s 
foil. The 2007 movie Manorama (translated as Six Feet Under) is a film 
noir detective story and is the highly feted directorial debut of 
Navdeep Singh.
Award-winning movie, Kal Ho Naa Ho, produced in 2003 and directed by 
Nikhil Advani, is billed as ‘a story of a lifetime … in a hearbeat!”. 
This is a deeply moving portrayal as seen through the eyes of the 
protagonist, Naina, who is shown a new way of life by her neighbour and 
love interest, Aman. Finally, another classic from 1975, Deewaar, 
directed by Yash Chopra, tells the age-old story of two brothers who 
choose different ways of life, one good, one bad, and how they have to 
make peace with themselves and one another.
