There were so many authors here that I told them I couldn't pay them royalties, but I would get these thirty unbound copies signed by everyone, and a royalty would be a completely signed copy for each of them. John Pauker and Richard Brautigan died before I could get them to sign it. Rikki and her husband, who translated the Roland Topor story, live in France, as does Topor himself, and none of the three has signed these copies yet. But some day.". Seller Inventory # 62993
