I ended up with an authentic autographed copy?!! Wow, this thing must be pretty valuable then!!

Shooting Straight in the Dark arrived today, but sadly, not autographed. But at least it didn't cost me $113.96 for a used copy like this seller is advertising:

Anyway, I'm sure I'll enjoy both books. Now that I'm married, I have more time to read.
