Hey, look! I'm in the library! And so is my book.


Anthony Bourdain is a huge fan of "Hollywood Remains to Be Seen." Huge fan. (Actually, I have no idea. I met him when he was filming an episode for one of his TV shows on a Dearly Departed Tour, and I gave him a book, and he was kind enough to pose for a photo with me. Very nice guy, and surprisingly knowledgeable about infamous celebrity deaths.)


Awww, shucks ...
