Incidentally, and this is true, I have an inscribed set of 'Mark Twain's' books, printed during his lifetime, and autographed....I think he might have been before your time, to be pulling off those shenanigans!..but you post was still entertaining!

P.S, Also have a contemporary of the author copy of, 'Evangeline' by Longfellow. Was passed down through our family.
