Greetings! I am trying to find if a bookstore still exists -- my wife bought books from this place by mail order many years ago, and has lost the address she had at that time. We have tried the stock of out-of-town telephone directories in our local public library, and have not found the correct directory to cover the area or town she recalls. The bookstore is/was called "NewEnglandiana" (might have a space or dash in there somewhere), and the town she recalls was "North Adams, Massachusetts". Could someone in that area look it up in your local telephone book, or otherwise locate it, and mail or post the mailing address with zip code and the telephone number? If the store still exists, and someone reading this knows of it, or shops there, can you let me know what it is like? She recalls it as being an excellent source for quite-reasonably-priced used books, mostly for her P. G. Wodehouse collection. Even if it still exists, it might have changed in character over the years, or been bought out by other owners, and I'd like to know if it is still a good old-fashioned used-bookstore, or now just a run-of-the-mill new-book outlet, or whatever. Speaking of P. G. Wodehouse, my wife is looking for sources that would have copies of some of his out-of-print books; she lacks about 30 or so from having a complete collection of his works. She is not particularily interested in first editions, mint copies, or such collectible and expensive varieties, but just reasonably-priced reading copies. If anybody knows of a source for such, please mail me addresses & phone numbers. Thanks much! Regards, Will Martin USENET: seismo!brl-bmd!wmartin or ARPA/MILNET: wmartin@almsa-1.ARPA
