A signed limited edition of the new expanded edition published in 2001 (Original version published in 1987).  In the author's introduction he states: "This book, the pieces of which I've written over the last twenty-five years, is for adults.  But I hope, more than anything, that it also appeals to the child in all of us, the child we should always strive to nurture and preserve.  I've worked hard on keeping the child in me alive, and perhaps this collection will help you do the same too.  I hope so."
