Craig Thompson dedication in Blankets TCAF 2019

My copy of Blankets has seen better days. It has been read over a dozen times and shared with almost as many people. It is coffee, lipstick and food stained as well as dog-eared and I love it all the more because this adds sentimental value to me as everyone that has touched and read this book has fallen in love with it the way I did. When Craig was coming to TCAF I debated getting a new, mint edition for him to sign but it felt like I'd be betraying this old friend. I am so glad I decided to get this beat up and well enjoyed copy dedicated. It was a pleasure meeting Craig and I think my love of this work was evident in this well loved copy he drew in.
