This book has an inscription from a friend on the dedication page but it ALSO has Francine Proses's signature on the cover page! I think my friend got it from the Strand bookstore in NYC. Interesting concepts regarding the ways a writer can learn from reading, and readers can learn to write. Beautifully written.
