I bought a copy to be signed at Atomic the day before he was there. The day of I wouldn’t have been able to make it, and from photos of the line, I’m glad I didn’t. I met John at the gay bookstore a few years ago for a signing of the reprinting of an expanded edition of Crackpot.

Since I was asked to write what I wanted him to dedicate the book to, I put down “Rev. Slaughter”… I had G. Gordon Liddy autograph a copy of “Will” to that same name as well.

Now I get to pull out the protective covering for the dust jacket and bone folder so that one day, many years from now, when I die, the jacket will be in pristine condition when someone throws my possessions away.
