I'd seen most of them, but not all, so it's cool to see the original Pick-Up and also Kiss Your Ass Good-Bye (a Dennis McMillan Publications book). Three items of note: (1) The publisher of Lust is a Woman misspelled Willeford's name on the cover. (2) Willeford (I believe) never knew about the publication of Whip Hand; his former army buddy and co-writer W. Franklin Sanders sold the book. (3) Sideswipe: in the Willeford Archive at the Bienes Museum of the Modern Book (in Florida), there is a bullet-hole ridden copy of this edition, which was sent to Willeford with this note: "It is a crime to charge $15.95 for a piece of shit like this. A Dissatisfied Customer."Doug Levinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05442233093216368844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705940625481143611.post-84488160804612077042010-11-13T08:12:12.935-08:002010-11-13T08:12:12.935-08:00I've got to pick up a few of these.
