If I ever publish a book, I'm going to put up a big sign outside my book signings saying "BOOKS SINGED BY THE AUTHOR". How everyone will laugh at the egregious typo, until they receive their lovely first edition of my book which I have lightly blow-torched.

I can't believe Ray Bradbury didn't think of this for Fahrenheit 451.

       Title: 'Toast' (I once toasted one edge of a book with a blowlamp as a student project to create physical titles)
