Below and in a different ink, William Hanner has also inscribed & signed as "Slick." (nickname only.) (The word "inscribed," for those in Westminster, California, and Derry, New Hampshire, who can't seem to figure this out, means the authors have written words in addition to their own names, often of a personal nature, addressed to the original purchaser or recipient of this volume. English-language learners and others who have trouble grasping the meaning of the word "inscribed" are strongly encouraged to inspect the attached scans -- pictures -- of the inscribed page before ordering. Please don't order this book and then complain "You didn't TELL me it was signed "To Lora!" Not only did we tell you; there are pictures.)
