They’ve never seen anything like it in the universe

Of course they haven’t. On the fiftieth anniversary of Star Trek, nobody’s yet seen anything like The Colorful Characters of St. Louis. That’ll soon change. My book about eighty bigger-than-life St. Louisans comes to the Reedy Press warehouse on Sept. 15 and to stores shortly thereafter. Your best chance to get an autographed copy will be at my fun-filled release party from 2-5 p.m. Sunday, October 2 at the Royale, 3132 South Kingshighway. Buy it there, have me sign it, and boldly read what no one has read before.
