Book Cover & Preview Text
“CONGRATULATIONS! You have been selected from an elite list of friends, family, enemies and acquaintances to be an honored recipient of the newly-minted Lukatch Newsletter (tm). You will receive this Newsletter periodically. It won’t cost you any money (yet); your payment, however, will be having to read it. Of course, if you really think that’s too high a price, just send me your TS slip by return mail and I’ll sign it for you.

“I’ll be sending this Newsletter out on the tenth of every whenever-I-feel-like-it, so watch your mailboxes. And by the way, if I find out any of you aren’t actually reading this supreme effort of my literary talents, (and I will find out - we auditors have our ways), I’ll stop sending it to you. And won’t you be sorry then.”
