Doug provided several original illustrations for my book, "Traders' Tales," a collection of humorous anecdotes about life on Wall Street. Doug's contribution was immense and has helped propel sales of the book well beyond the publisher's expectations.

I highly recommend Douglas Pike to anyone who wishes to employ his services. His inspired pieces are delivered with unique promptness, efficiency and style. Doug is a true professional in his field.

I would be happy to discuss my experiences with Doug at a time of mutual convenience. Feel free to call on me at (201) 346-2115.

Dear Mr. Pike:

I have received the cartoon illustrations you sent us recently. Although they are wonderful and quite comical I don't think we will be able to use them. Nonetheless, I thank you for sharing them with me. They really are ingenious.

Sincerely,

As editor of The Business Journal in Phoenix, I have had the pleasure of working with Douglas Pike, who has used his considerable talent to provide our newspaper with cartoons for our editorial page.

His "Doubtful Accounts" business-related work has appeared periodically in our publication over the past two years. In fact, we have recently started using his work more frequently.

The humor in his work is aimed very accurately at our readers, business men and women in the Greater Phoenix area and around Arizona.

He always has been receptive to our suggestions concerning his work and has generously reformatted some of his work several times to fit our space requirements.

It has been a pleasure to use his work and I would certainly recommend his material to other editors.

Sincerely,
John Genzalc
Editor

We Made It!

We set out on our 2 motorcycles to try to see some of the world. It took a couple of years (1990-1992), but we put 65,067 miles on the motorcycles' odometers (103,664 miles in all, with ferries, planes, flat cars, river barges, and such).

P.S. Jim's book, Investment Biker: On the Road
with Jim Rogers was released by Random House.

Thanks for writing and the cartoons; I loved them. I'll certainly keep it in mind.

Jim
