Not One Of Us #1?

[madwriter.livejournal.com]

John, I tried an experiment recently that seems to have paid off, but I thought I'd ask you to make sure first:

The other day I was wandering around Bookfinder looking for first issues of my favorite magazines (if I didn't already have them), and I ran across a listing for Not One Of Us with no issue number listed. A query about this was inconclusive since there wasn't one listed on the issue. The magazine arrived today--it has a beige-ish cover with the title given as (Not) One Of Us and a face on the cover, has your signature under the introduction, includes a poem by you ("Dust") and Marge Simon ("Not One Of Us"), and is dated October 1986.

So did I just stumble into a historical document? :)

The copy you have is the first issue of Not One of Us. It lacks an issue number because I originally marketed it as a stand-alone collection, even though I thought there was a good chance it would turn into a magazine. I signed every copy of (Not) One of Us. I dropped the parentheses before #2 because that seemed too cumbersome for a magazine.
