Pat and Charles Searle's Copy of Sex and the Single Child by Sam Levenson and Whitney Darrow, Jr.

Pat and Charles Searle's copy of Sex and the Single Child (1969) by Sam Levenson was inscribed to the couple by illustrator Whitney Darrow, Jr., a full decade after publication. Darrow included an original charcoal pencil drawing of a young boy writing the dedication on the wall of a house while a girl peers around the corner. The book somehow found its way to the collection of cartoon historian Bill Bush of Houston and from his estate made it's way to Space Cadets of Oak Ridge North, Texas. It was sold on eBay just over a week ago.
