Sarah Vowell recounts her early years working at Arader's San Francisco gallery and being sent to Philly to learn from "the Master" in her book The Partly Cloudy Patriot, including several second-hand anecdotes about "the Grahamerator". Asat (talk) 06:38, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

I have not read Sarah Vowell's book, but in the Maphist archive at http://mailman.geo.uu.nl/pipermail/maphist/2007-January/009106.html Arader writes of Vowell's book: "Regarding Sarah Vowell's writings about me in "The Partly Cloudy Patriot" she worked for me in my San Francisco Gallery during a time when I NEVER visited the gallery. She never met or spoke with me. What she writes about me or my sales tactics is mostly fabrication. Because she was in our shipping and maintenance department, I had virtually no contact with her of any kind! I never once walked on the floors that she swept!" Take it for what it's worth. --Blake the bookbinder (talk) 08:50, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
