Never judge a Book by its cover, but I should try opening the covers once in a while

This has to be the first book thread where Barry hasn't posted about the books.

Sorry Max. I read all the posts and enjoyed hearing about the signatures. I just had nothing to contribute beyond LSD.

Great book. I have a first edition that I've been thinking about sending to Wolfe to have signed. He's a very responsive signer through the mail.

Kesey signed a 3X5 for me many years ago. It was signed in two shades of day-glo: purple highlited with pink! A few years after that, I happened to be driving through Springfield, Oregon and dropped by Kesey's place; he was listed in the phone book. He actually lived in a converted barn with a big white star painted at the top. The original "Furthur" bus was rotting away in a boggy area of the wooded acreage to the immediate north of his property. What a shame that it was beyond repair.

Still trying to figure out whatever happened to Sandy after he sold all of the Pranksters' equipment and ran off with the proceeds!

A big derailment to the original intent of this thread, but nice to see the shared interest nonetheless!
