I might be taking ephemera collecting a bit too far.

I collect the m101-4 through m101-6 sets produced by Felix Mendelsohn. Over the years I came to knew that his namesake son was a somewhat interesting character who wrote 3 rather unspectacular pulp novels in the 60's, as well as having been in the press corps (I think) during WWII. Anyway, I won this “novel” authored by Felix Mendelsohn junior AT AGE 10–basically a vanity press item but I guess it helps when your dad is a publisher. When it arrived I saw that he inscribed it to his mother–the publisher’s wife Rose, and that he dedicated it to mom and dad. Also, there was a letterhead of the young author enclosed. Of course, I was also interested in that it was published in 1917, during the m101 era. I’m pretty sure that chasing stuff like this makes clear that I need professional help, although at least the story is highlighted by the brothers playing baseball and bringing home the title.
