Hi, I am trying to help my father. He is looking for the “little Orphan Annie” comic strips that ran when he was younger that had Annie running a Newspaper Stand. According to my dad, Annie was constantly besieged by thugs and someone (Mr. Am, The Asp?) came to her rescue. Do you know anything at all about this series? Do you know if this story is in Harold Gray's Little Orphan Annie Volume Two? Any help at all would be appreciated. Thank you, Art.

I see you have a copy of David Markson's "Miss Doll, Go Home". To resolve
some confusion about the book, can you tell me if Markson's private detective
Harry Fannin appears in it?

Thanks for any help!

Gee Madinkbeard--I see you're a huge Raymond Queneau fan. You may have even more of his books than I do. I have never seen A hard winter of anything less than $80. I'm impressed.

Kudos on your picture! It's a great shot - where did you get all of those red books? I'm also from Philadelphia (and am hoping to go to Drexel for my MLIS)
