The Man
My first store signing...
...was in a B. Dalton in Toms River, NJ, in 1977 with Isaac Asimov, Fred Pohl, and Barry Malzberg. Asimov's line was out the door but I got pity sales from those waiting for him. I hope this link works.

"It means 'Ask the next question.' Ask the next question, and the one that follows that, and the one that follows that. It's the symbol of everything humanity has ever created." Theodore Sturgeon.
Divine Nonsense
Never met any of those sf stars (haw!), but Asimov's wife Janet Jeppson was a frequent visitor at B&N Lincoln Triangle. (Lived right down the block.) She was amused that I addressed her as "Dr. Asimov." "My husband was 'Dr. Asimov', Michael." And I replied, "Well, you're an MD, so you're Dr. Asimov too!" And she was kind enough to give me an inscribed copy of one of her own novels. That's class!
