I published a letter in JBNM from a guy complaining that I refused to use his metallic pen and signed “cheaply” with a Sharpie.

He didn’t seem to realize how much he revealed about himself with that word.

The above is the BBB story I've heard the most from people. So many people want sigs with metallic colors and get infuriated when you decline.

You'd think they would just be happy to get a signature, let alone for free considering how many pros charge these days.

Just meeting JB when he visited Toronto a few years ago was enough for me . The signed books were just a bonus and who cared what he used to sign with .

I had to drive from Boston back to New York yesterday. Merely passing through Connecticut, you could feel the presence of Byrne.
