Van Sandwyk's mouse pays no attention to the Surgeon General's warnings.
For those who collect autographs, item 49 is a special copy of AH Allen, a tribute to poet Allen Ginsberg published in 1998. The book contains contributions from numerous literary and other notable figures, a great many of whom have signed this copy. Signatures include those of Yoko Ono, Dennis Hopper, Arthur Miller, and Joe Strummer (of the band the Clash). $4,500.
Item 37 is Charles van Sandwyk's Wee Folk. This short book contains 13 of his etchings, six of them full pages, of strange looking little people. They were observed during a journey through the great woods, "between dawn and dusk, when most good folk are asleep." This edition was limited to 40 copies. $1,500. Item 40 is a single etching from van Sandwyk, hand colored and signed by the author-artist. It can be described as Smoking Mouse. No one warned him of the health risks of his nasty habit. $265.
