Hi, I just joined this site. I noticed that you're a poetry fan. Have you read Unexpected Light? Here's a link: http://www.cechaffin.com

I'm glad to find another reader with John Chris Jones' The Internet and Everyone -- he was before his time. The book is worth owning for the animal reading paths alone.

I'm envious of your Gorey collection. I looks like a complete collection.
I'm saving my pennies and buying the latest book, Elephant House. Gorey is one of my favorite artist.

Hey, I just noticed you've listed VD Nabokov and the Russian Provisional Government with "Vladimir Nabokov" as the author. Perhaps you could change the author to Vladimir Dmitrievich Nabokov so he can be separated from his son's listing?

I found it (Criswell Predicts) in a thrift store in Las Vegas about 10 years ago... it's so weird that I HAD to have it!

In the interest of getting the ancient roman seperated from the modern pseudonym, can I ask you to refile New York Unexpurgated under the author's real name, Paul Tabori? Backup is here:

I've tagged all my Gorey/Anchor books under "Anchor". My hope is to acquire all of the Anchor books he designed the covers for (especially the ones which include his drawings). My current favorite is "What Maisie Knew".
