T.O.D.
I used to wish that I could get a signed first-edition of Walter Lord's A NIGHT TO REMEMBER. However, since I purchased the sgined leather-bound edition of the book, I no longer need to have a first edition. I am very sorry that Mr. Lord's signature was so ravaged by the effects of Parkinson's by then, but I take comfort that I was able to get it before he passed away.
