With all the throwing about of the "recluse" term of late, here's a link of note. Its a recluse seeking out material of another recluse:

In April of 1986, the following letter - in which the sender was seeking to ascertain the monetary value of a signed John Lennon album - was received by a music memorabilia expert based in New Jersey. The album in question was Lennon's final release - Double Fantasy - but more importantly, this particular copy had been signed by Lennon himself on 8th December, 1980, just hours before he was shot and killed by Mark Chapman.

Further explanation would spoil the surprise.
