Automated search ("bull on the bench") of 1967/68 newspapers returns few hits. In 1967 only two late Newsday notices of radio appearances billed as Lowell B. Mason, author of "Bull on the Bench".
- Price from Tuck [seems high] Found in 1968 newspapers, one notice and one full review as $6.50 (Austin Statesman -02-18; Chicago Tribune -02-23). And two publisher advertisements (Human Events -02-24 and -03-09) identically as available "while they last, first editions autographed by the author" from your book store, or from the publisher $4.95 postpaid.
- Artist from AbeBooks Some ABEbooks dealers report two autographs, evidently because every copy was autographed before shipping and some were later signed or inscribed personally. Aaron Sopher is credited on the non-pictorial front dust jacket. Two dealers note the illustrations as "Cartoons" and "Sopher's charming line illustrations". One dealer provides images that show the front book cover and back dust jacket both illustrated by line drawings--of Justice Bullock at the bench, presumably. Other images show a thoroughly inscribed first leaf and a simply autographed half-title page.
