Unusually unusual
Here is something you don't see everyday - as a matter of fact, it's a somewhat uncommon image. A copy is available on eBay.

Since you've been on a beach kick here lately ... A "summer books" list in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch (Sunday paper, online today), compiled by Jane Henderson, the paper's book editor, includes this:
"'Can You Ever Forgive Me?' by Lee Israel (Simon & Schuster; August): A memoir of a writer who decides to make money by forging letters of celebrities — Dorothy Parker, Louise Brooks, Noel Coward and more — and selling them to collectors. A judge let her off lightly, but she is banned from major research libraries." No-o-o-o-o!!

I'm sure you're clean, but ... it sounds like your Twilight Zone episode.

Wow. I gotta check this out. I own one of Israel's earlier books, a bio of Talullah Bankhead. Now its suspect.

I know that after Brooks died in 1985, there was a rash of forged letters and signatures on the market. I wonder if Israel forged any of those?
