[ For Dave, if you're reading: :-) ]
Summary:
Wanted: "The Jewel Hinged Jaw" 1977
"The American Shore" 1978
Both by Samuel R. Delaney, published by Dragon Press (NY).
Nitty-gritty:
A friend of mine in Scotland has written me a sad tale, about how he used
to own "The Jewel Hinged Jaw" but lent it out and has never seen it, or
the borrower, again. Probably wise, in the borrowers case. After sufficient
crawling he asked me whether I could track down anything.
Not especially a book-worm, I tried Forbidden Planet in NY. No luck. So
I'm widening my search and asking the collective conscience now reading.
If you have one spare, or know of one lying around relatively unattended,
you will get in touch, won't you ? In the words of one of Daves favourite
songs,
"Grovel, Grovel, Beg, Kneel, Sponge, Crawl".
