Man Bites Man: Two Decades of Satiric Art is a 1981 survey by prolific author and editor Steven Heller. A copy inscribed by Heller to Carla and Simon Bowden in the year of publication is currently available on AbeBooks for a reasonable $30. (I believe Carla worked at the Leo Burnett advertising agency at the time and the couple either lived or came to live in Westport. I also believe they eventually divorced.) Heller has written, coauthored, or edited more than one-hundred thirty books, mostly about design. A partial listing of his published work on Wikipedia currently does not include this book or indeed any of his books published prior to 1986.

Note: That back cover shows the signatures of many of the first-rate cartoonists who originally captivated me, inspiring my interest in the field. I would be honored to hear from anyone with personal reminiscences, original art, photographs, correspondence, or other rarities relating to any of them.
