Kickass, the doorstop dog, tries to be helpful as the keeper and Phyllis go about proofing “Treeson,” the keepers “Apologia to the trees” that went to make the paper for printing his 35 or so years of newspaper drivel. The 275-page book, with a striking cover design by Phyllis, uses examples of articles and columns from the four newspapers the keeper worked for and tries to explain how it was that the keeper was there at the time and doing what he was doing. A product of the Amazon publishing process, copies should be available soon through Amazon or from the keeper through billstokes31@gmail.com using Paypal.
“Treeson” tells how Ed Gein got the keeper his first job and how the keeper’s digestive tract threatened to destroy the Statue of Liberty.
