Just some, well, ephemera...

I figured that I might begin posting some more nifty things from my library here, from time to time, that may be of interest to some. I have been going though lots of my materials lately and finding lots of odds and ends that I think are interesting, and hopefully some may feel the same. So anyway, here is one of many items that Tom has put his spin on. Personally, I never get sick of Tom's sardonic wit and tragic/comic take on so many things.

Thank you very much for sharing this! Is this the earliest extant text by Ligotti apart from the "Notes and Aphorisms"?

Yes, pretty much. This is inscribed in my Black and White copy of the original SS Press SOADD which Tom gave me. Harry only printed three copies, one owned by Harry, another by David Tibet, and this one, which was originally owned by Tom. Harry printed them experimentally, simply making sure his press was running properly, and never meant to do anything with them, so most people are still unaware that there are any B&W copies that exist, mostly because it was not known by anyone other than Harry for many years and none have ever entered the market for obvious reasons. My copy will certainly never be sold, and some day, will be owned by my daughter, like the rest of my collection.
