The chapbook is HAND SIGNED and WARMLY INSCRIBED by both WILLIAM DUFFY and ROBERT BLY, and also has a POSTCARD SIGNED by ROBERT BLY laid in. WILLIAM DUFFY Signed and Inscribed on the half title page: "For Gordon / Our wonderful friend / Please, always, always come to Marilyn and me. / Yours / Marilyn and Bill Duffy". ROBERT BLY Signed and Inscribed all over the title page: "For Celia and Greg and Patrick / "I am doing nothing, so I read old books!" / The poems still look good to me / "Again the wild boar of the forest is in me" Bill / Duffy says I wish we had someone like (?) running for President / Yours / Robert Bly / Feb 12, 92". (The first quote in the inscription "I am doing nothing, so I read old books!" is a play of words on one of Bly's translations in the book that reads "I am doing nothing, so I read old poems." I suppose Bly is referring to the fact that he is rereading his old book The Lion's Tail and Eyes. The second quote in the inscription is Robert Bly quoting one of the lines from a Bill Duffy poem in the book.)
