  1. The shadow box realization of Bill's office was crafted by the late, great Estelle Blair from San Francisco, who made them as gifts for friends & mystery writers she liked. I have two in my office. One is her imagining of my office, the other is labeled "Art Scott's Sleaze Suite". I wouldn't part with them for any money.

    I do believe that's Ross Thomas with Bill & Bruce. Joann Vicarel, not Ann.

  4. Raise your hands all you like. I've made several tries at photographing the shadow boxes with no success. Reflections off the glass are the main problem, plus the sidewalls and floor are also decorated. The boxes are securely glued together, so there's no way of removing the front glass without busting the thing up. Private viewings can be arranged, however.

  5. Is that Bubbles and not Ann Smith?
