As someone who didn't contribute anything but my hard-earned dollars to Warmed and Bound, I just want to say there's good stuff to be found within its pages.

Thank you Richard. I hoped you might provide the story behind the shot.
I think I am falling in love with you. And for the Record, this really isn't "my" book. This is for all of you. I am just along for the ride. And "if" and when it actually manages to get needled with every single authors' ink, I plan to do something special with it.
Shit Pollock signed the fucker.

He-he. She took one of the best shots of her not signing the book. Well I think it is getting nice and rested for July 3rd at Powell's. Jeremy Robert Johnson said he is going to teach it how to drink Whiskey properly. And it is going to need it with all the ink that will be staining its skin that night.

Some people have referred to Richard as a cock lamp from time to time, yes.
Yes folks, this is where Richard's magic happens. His office is his muse. Everything just so.
Beware of all enterprises which don't allow cock lamps.

He illuminates the world through his nethers, one might say. Shining a light on injustices. And making porn cinematographers' jobs a helluva lot easier. The man's downright laproscopic.

that's me typing on the same typwriter that Vonnegut typed on. all of the books in the picture are from his actual library, painstakingly recreated in exact detail. that's also at the Vonnegut library in Indy.
if anybody can guess the line that i typed, i will send you a mixed bag of really cool comic books from the last year or so.
