My first copy of Smoke From This Altar. I found it in my early days of internet searching and the Librarian at work who was the only staff member with authority to buy internationally did all the clicking so that it went on her work account. Before the book arrived her cancer returned in a most aggressive manner and she was given months if not weeks to live. As a thank you for the manner in which I supported her final weeks and exit from work she paid for the book. It arrived a week or so before she passed away and she sent it to me along with a letter explaining why she had paid for it. On my first trip to the USA I managed to get Kathy to autograph it for me. It hold pride of place in my heart and my bookshelf.

Isn't making a smoking section in a restaurant like making a peeing section in a swimming pool?
