For Jeanine, whose copy of my book I forgot to sign in Vancouver. Keep in mind this is done with a pen in my mouth, so forgive the less than stellar penmanship.

Who's this "Pane Gwesh" person? I'd like to buy his or her books.
Your signature is more legible than mine, which is done with a hand I've been writing with for over 40 years. You'd think practice would make perfect, but apparently in my case practice makes chicken-scratchings. :)

It's a gorgeous signature.
Ah, sadly, Mr. Gwesh's book is still forthcoming. Paul Guest's book, on the other hand, can be easily purchased from the author or Amazon.... ;)
Thanks, Peter!

Thanks Paul! It's perfect!
You can print it out and paste it in your copy.....;)
Kidding, still mail me the book and I'll sign it.
