About this Item

Signed on the title page by Rosalind Brackenbury, the author of two essays in the book one titled "The Hundred Dollar Kitty Cat" and signed and dated 12/97 by Allen Meece, also the author of two essays in the volume one titled "Captain Hell", the first essay found in the work. There is a signature at the top of the title page of a name I cannot make out that is dated 3/27/99 and placed at Key West with a comment as well. An examination of the work finds no underlining, no highlighting, no bookplates, not ex-libris, no remainder marks. A nice copy.
