David Nied

In October of 2020, I decided to seek out an address for David Nied. I had this Beckett magazine and knew that he signed but didn't know if I should send such a big item. In the end, I decided to just do it. As a precaution during the COVID-19 pandemic, I included my own Sharpie and hand sanitizing wipes.

Twelve days later my magazine came back signed.

David signed the cover of the February 1993 issue of Beckett Focus on Future Stars.
