With many thanks to Veg-o-matic

Will Myra Henshaw never cease to haunt me?

I re-read "My Mortal Enemy" for the umpteenth time today,

It's getting so I have to hide my copy.  Once I pick it up I cannot put it down

SIGNED LIMITED FIRST EDITION, ONE OF ONLY 220 COPIES SIGNED BY WILLA CATHER.

My Mortal Enemy

"My Mortal Enemy is actually a nouvelle, only about twenty thousand words in length, the shortest of all her works published separately... It is also the most unfurnished of her novels, a remarkable example of the novel démeublé, but it was properly published by itself and not as part of a collection. It is a complete entity and an almost perfect work of art" (Woodress, Willa Cather: A Literary Life).

New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1926. Original cloth backed boards; custom slipcase (original slipcase lacking). A FINE COPY.

Price: $850.00

And let me be perfectly clear here.  Yes  I will sleep with you for this

Obviously I have high hopes,  The last week has been spent buying fertilizer, soil amendments and gardening tools while hoping the weather starts warming up the ground
