Auctorial • \awk-TOR-ee-ul\ • adjective – Of or relating to
an author
Of all his auctorial duties, Dagwood’s required appearances
at signing parties were the most feared and loathed. It wasn’t until the fourth
such appearance at a bookstore in Dirt, North Dakota that he decided to only
sign books in his personal secret code. Therefore, the recipient of the book
would never know that although the inscription said “best wishes” the real
meaning was “get lost”. Dagwood’s quality life was thereby improved
immeasurably, and he looked forward to his appointments with glee.
