Was Dexter Sinister ?
Timothy Dexter, born in Malden Massachusetts, was a rather strange, but strangely successful individual. His autobiography, A Pickle for the Knowing Ones, or Plain Truths in a Homespun Dress was one sentence long, and that sentence contained no punctuation marks. A 4th edition of the pamphlet (1848) currently sells for $ 75.00 - $ 350.00, but you could read this masterwork in a new edition for $15.00 - $ 20.00. Not the first book we would recommend you buy. Or read.
