12. Yes, I did, but not this version. After Burroughs came out, so to
speak, and put his name on it. I think sometime in the mid-60's or so.

3. Ace,
by the way, unless my old memory is deceiving me, is the company that published the pirated version of "The Lord of the Rings" first here in America.

4. It's a great book...and it's by William S. Burroughs.
It was his first published work, back in 1952. He used a pseudonym so as not to embarrass his family, which was prominent in his native St. Louis.
