Sent out my copy of My Stroke of Luck to Kirk Douglas I'd say about two weeks ago and received it back signed yesterday! I had written about how my grandpa had had a stroke and Parkinson's Disease so that is what the inscription is about.
Sent to an address that my grandparents had. They had written to him to years ago as well talking about their strokes.
That's great! Especially considering the circumstances for everyone involved! Congrats and all the best!
If you need German stamps or any help with the lingo, feel free to PM me. I may very well be interested in trading for stamps from your country (unless I don't need them!).
