  3. Thank you for the kind comments.

    Gould, I'll see what I can come up with. I didn't see an ISBN but I'll scan the cover or colophon for you (should have done that, but I was feeling lazy last night).

  6. Laura, I gave him a list and a rough dollar amount and he came back with a huge haul for me, I was quite ecstatic.

    Curiously, he said everyone gave him puzzled looks when he asked for books by Tajima. No one seemed to know him or stock his work. (Or his brother's work.)

  13. Dear Will,

    I reposted these pictures in my (greek speaking) blog using them as an illustration on a short story piece I wrote, giving you of course due credit.
    If you have any objections please let me know.
