I notice you have Ward Thomas's "Stranger in the Land" in your collection. I am working with Drewey Wayne Gunn on a collection of essays to be published this summer entitled "The Golden Age of Gay Fiction" and he is looking for a cover of "Stranger in the Land" to use as an illustration. We need an electronic scan of just the front cover in high quality (at least 300 dpl)that can be reproduced. I know it is a lot to ask, but the book is not readily available. Do you have a dusk jacket and the capability of scanning and sending electronically? I'll see if I can get you an acknowledgement in the book. Don't feel guilty if you have to turn me down.
If this is possible I'll send you my email address. My name on LT is gaymystery.
Thanks,
Dennis

I checked out your library as I noticed you were the only other member who had listed : Two for Jack Spicer, by Stephen Jonas. Thanks for putting up the picture of the book as I'm unable to do so myself. Curiously, when I listed it and it came up on an Amazon search, the publisher was listed as 'Unknown ' when it's clearly marked as published by ManRoot Books in South San Francisco from 1974. Jonas had been long neglected and has been ' rediscovered ' in recent years and his Selected Poems are available from Talisman House Publishers. A new Jack Spicer Collected Poems is also just out from Wesleyan University Press. It's reviewed by Erik Davis in the most recent BookForum in case you're interested.
I really enjoyed browsing through some of your antiquarian Uranian titles. It seems we have some other titles/authors in common as well.
Best,
John

Oh, of course! The whole immigration thing just slipped my mind. Silly me. I noticed the other languages as well, but figured it was just a case of someone being well-versed in the great cultural languages, while Swedish stood out as a bit more... should I say provincial? :) But it's nice to hear that you're taking care of your ancestry.
