Yes, it is.  You can even discover Art's true age in the introduction, a
fact he fought valiantly to hide, even to the extent of blacking out the
birthdate in the copies he sold personally.  I have one, autographed, and
date blacked out.  

I said, "Art," did you forget?  Every library in Chicago has a copy; you
can't find 'em all!"

"Yeah, well," he growled, "I c'n try!"
