An addendum to the discussion of a few weeks ago:

    Yesterday, I picked up a copy of The Princess Bride for a friend.
It was an April, 1984 printing, so there shouldn't be any problem
finding it.  Biggest difficulty will be with guessing in which section
your particular bookstore hides it.  I've seen it in literature, humor
and science fiction.  Ah, well.  At least no one had the nerve to stick
it among the Barbara Cartland dreck.

    On the page preceding the title page of TPB, there is a list of
other works by William Goldman.  Directly below the list of his film
scripts appears a box which mentions The Silent Gondoliers.  So, even
though TSG does not mention Goldman, TPB gives him credit for being
Samuel Morganstern for this second book.
