Gary Provost's book of offbeat humor, The Dorchester Gas Tank, is one of the six unpublished manuscripts he'd written after high school.  While teaching himself how to write well, he took on a long succession of low-paying jobs across the country.  At 29, after ten years of this, he'd accumulated many flattering letters from senior editors but still had not sold a word.  Provost saw only one solution: Self-publishing!  So, at home, after driving a laundry truck all day, he cranked out ink-blotched pages by hand on an ancient mimeograph machine, producing finally a couple hundred books.  He managed to peddle some copies through the mail, but most sales were to friends or friends of friends.
