Dear Mr. Pinkwater,

A dear friend of mine introduced me to your books with The Big Orange Splot many years ago. She has recently finished building (with her own tow hands, along with many others) her own dream house. I would love to send you a page from The Big Orange Splot for you to sign as a house warming gift for her. Is this possible? How can I go about such a thing if it is allowable?

Many thanks either way. Youe books have brought great joy and amusment over the years.

You want to tear a page out of a (rare) copy of my book? I don't know if I can condone this.
