I must have had upwards of five separate "tacky-covered" paperbacks of
COL49 pass through my hands (as I've always enjoyed handing the book
to friends and saying, "Here. Read this.") and I don't remember seeing
such a blurb (that this work is of an Unchristian nature) on any of them.
I'd like to see it, though. Could this blurb be as chimerical as the source of
the WvB quote in GR?

PS The Doc Holiday resting place is at Glenwood Springs, Colorado. (I
just passed through there on Amtrak, myself.)
PPS One of the funniest reactions I ever got from someone I'd given
COL49 to was from a co-worker who got stuck somewhere in "The
Courier's Tragedy" and then gave the book back to me saying sadly: "If
you can get through this you're a better man than I." Another co-worker
stuggled for a year before finally getting all the way through.
