Buy
the editor a book!
This is an exact copy of my current books-wanted list, which I usually
have with me whenever I browse a used books store. Many of these
are in print, but since I don't need them urgently, and I'm not
YET rolling in money, I prefer to just keep an eye out for a used
copy.
If you happen to have a spare copy of any of these lying around,
or perhaps you just want to buy me a present, you can send it to
me at P.O. Box 93, New York, NY 10012.
Just a thought.
