- Gotham Book Mart Collection copy has inscription "August 1990 Jackie, One year ago I purchased a copy of this book for myself. I found many parts very special and I believe you will enjoy reading this wide variety of literature. A year has lapsed because my favorite Ashland book store is the only source I could locate as a carrier. Enjoy-- love, Sharon."
