    LOL. The guy on the cover was obviously beyond returning except for the dead.

    glad you printed publication date. I thought that was an Art Deco cover. Great design on the book.

    Okay, so I want to know if he showed up for the appointment.

    Or maybe he's still sitting in the waiting room and the doc is slow.

    Absolutely amazing, I know Dr. Pollock and he is still in Cooperstown, although long since retired! I'll have to ask him if the fellow ever showed...
