I try to imagine that: Example: A copy of "Kapital" next to "Mein Kampf", both signed by the author. One gives you goose-bumps of delight, the other of disgust?

Ps: John, that signature in your paperback "better" never turns out to be: fake. Just imagine, too.

I can't explain it myself, but when I pull out the cheap paperback book once owned by one of my favorite writers and look at his signature in the front, I feel close to him.

No, it's not rational, and neither am I, necessarily,
