Let's assume, if you will, that the man to whom New Yorker cartoonist George Booth enthusiastically inscribed a copy of his 1980 collection Pussycats Need Love, Too with "For Newton!" was none other than Newton G. Brand, Jr., a collector of such personalized books. Brand was a Texas banker who obtained signed copies of books—by mail at least some of the time. This book was signed in June of 1987, some seven years after it was published, and is an edition created for the National Lyric Opera Company. It has an original Booth drawing of a dog wagging its docked tail.
