There is an article about Wisconsin indy filmmaker-actor Mark Borchardt laid in (with a margin note at mention of Lesy's photobook _Wisconsin Death Trap_). We found this book in Milwaukee, so we surmise that the inscriptee is Mark Borchardt, best known for the film "American Movie" (also from 1999). Ships fast with tracking. Inscribed by Author(s).
