The dude is pushing 80 years old. Let him do w.e he wants, he's probably waited a lifetime for some of the opportunities he is getting especially with things only possible now in 2025. He likely doesn't have much time left on this planet so live it up old man thanks for the good times so far. I want the book very badly but at this point it is what it is. I'd rather it be commissioned to someone else who will do an amazing job with it and give it all their attention and heart.
