WALKER, ROBERT — Fraud

Bluehorse Books. 2005, 1st Edition. Soft cover. This book should not exist, and if it wasn't sitting in front of me I would think it was a hoax. Professionally printed book of poetry on decent paper, not bad contemporary poetry either, but with no trail at all. The publisher does not exist, no location is given (pretty much has to be American), the preface implies the author's name is a pseudonym, I find no other copies for sale on the Internet, in Worldcat library holdings, or in Library of Congress listings. An escape-room of a book, if you will. I invite your updates of this information, or your purchase to figure it out. Like I say, the poetry is pretty good. 203 pages, plus a couple of bonus pages at rear. Pictorial mock wrinkled paper covers, distorts the existence of a few actual wrinkles. The book (I hesitate to to say "copy" if it is unique) has been read once or twice, but is unmarked and intact. If it doesn't sell soon, I'll probably keep it for myself, and they can figure out at my estate sale what it is. Good.
