    PROVENANCE NOTES: This autographed item is from my personal collection which I started accumulating in the 1970s. All of these were purchased from reputable sources such as East Coast Book Auctions, Harris Auction Galleries, Remember When Antiquities, Richard J. Cohen, and Donald Dean of Discovery Gide. I also had a running advertisement throughout the 1980s in PCM (Paper Collectors’ Marketplace) through which I obtained a number of these. None came via Ebay or any online source.
    Note also that almost all of these were obtained before “COAs” became popular, so no such ‘certificate’ accompanied these items when I purchased them. I do, however, include my own personal money-back guarantee ensuring your complete satisfaction.
