Andy,
I actually agree with you. I won't publish a letter that's crappy just
because it's from a celeb. But if a celeb can write a good letter, a double
bonus for the book and its readers! And of course everyone on this list is
invited to send a letter in for just as serious consideration as anyone
else's.
Yes, have the Stewarts drop me a line!
