The ABC's of Dating

Ralph has become a friend of mine through some correspondence, a commission, and doing a convention together not long ago. I bought this from a dealer, with the intention of giving it back to him. He had told me that he had to sell most of his original art over the years, or it was never returned to him.

At the show, I took it out, and he told me all about the book that was originally published. When I offered him the piece, he didn't want it back. I wasn't going to force him to take it, so it now resides in my collection. Should he ever change is mind, I will be happy to give it back.
