.. he and I are very close and have been in phone contact daily for the past week ...........

He got half of his books in LV on Thurs .... he spent the entire weekend PERSONALLY signing books and getting them out on most pre-orders on Monday ......

He just arrived back to his home in SB to his other half of his book shipment this morning, and is now processing more orders from there as I post this ...........

His mom Sue in LV did NOT sign any of the books and they ALL are authentic !!! She and his dad just help with facilitating the ordering and shipping of them ...........

Hope this helps you and anyone else on the Board with this question ........ Thx, Capt Banjo Jim
