A Signed Copy of Two Cats In America by Mischa Damjan andRalph Steadman

Scott Burns writes with scans of a very special book from his own collection. Two Cats In America (1970) is written by Mischa Damjan and illustrated by Ralph Steadman, who added a drawing to this copy.

All copies of the book have the printed dedication to Steadman's wife Ann, but this one has something more, that I don't quite understand. And there's a drawing of a patriotic, American cat. 

Note:  My thanks to Scott Burns for sending these wonderful images which arrived, as usual, completely unexpected. This is his twentieth contribution to the blog. Scott maintains the world's most comprehensive bibliography of the work of Ralph Steadman which readers who love cats and otherwise can access here. He is also the enterprising proprietor of Armadillo & Dicker books, a.k.a. Burns Bizarre, a.k.a. Books on Main. He's not one to simply pick a name and settle on it.
