Rather; all his stories and vignettes seem to be drawn from second hand accounts or published Waits interviews. Its worth a look.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. great bookBy rpmtgot this for Christmas. a great book for any fan of waits0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
