It features historical figures (George Washington, John Rodgers, John Knox, Charles Inglis, William Duer, 
Washington Irving, etc.), modern cultural icons (Johnny Carson, Dick Cavett, Andy Griffith, Alfred Hitchcock, 
Pablo Picasso, Albert Einstein), and metaphorical figures (the Headless Horseman, Darth Vader, Rip Van Winkle).  

The edition available here is “flying solo”: it is Internet-only, without ISBN, printed copies, or traditional publisher.
