VANDER ODDITIES

I’m happy to personalize or just sign any of the books below. All have material in them by me or I published them. If you order more than $25 off of this list, you get a free Ambergris beer label, full color, created by Eric Schaller, and a beautiful signed plate from me, in addition to any personalized signature...also, someone asked me if I'd give up my proof copy of my self-published chapbook for friends, The Book of Winter. I said, "Only for $1,000.") - Jeff
