A Pickle for the Knowing Ones

Ok, Jenn says I'm a dork for having bought this book, but I still think this guy is a genius!

His name is Lord Timothy Dexter, the "Lord" title, is self-conferred. He lived in the 1700's, was filthy rich and eccentric. He wanted to be an author, so he wrote a book and published it himself (A Pickle for the Knowing Ones). He disregarded every grammatical convention and made up words as he saw fit. He also avoided using any punctuation signs, which caused an uproar among the "well educated" wealthy people in his community. His response? A second edition of the book, identical to the first one, with the following APPENDIX at the end:
