… of A Beautiful Blue Death, it goes beyond a simple inscription with my name on the front flyleaf. When Finch wrote that first Charles Lennox mystery, he was an unknown author who put his personal email address on his website. I had a first edition, but it was not signed, so I emailed him asking if he would sign my copy if I mailed it to him along with return postage. He said he would be glad to and gave me the address of his apartment in Manhattan (the world has changed a lot in 15 years). Within two weeks of that email, I had a signed, inscribed copy.
