On June 19 of this year, Sleuth Books listed a copy of Are You Happy?: And Other Questions Lovers Ask (1978) by Edward Koren containing some original art. The price, $90, is a lot to spend for a signed Koren book sight unseen, but just marvel at how enticingly it was described: "Personally inscribed by the author to Ben Raeburn, the publisher of Horizon Books, on the front endpapers, complete with two sketches of book characters. A spectacular copy!" The listing shows only a stock photo, but I am a sucker for "spectacular." I paid my money.

The drawing, we learn, was of the get-well-soon variety. I, for one, feel better already.
