He has a first edition of Newman’s University for six bucks, do i want it, he asks innocently.
Dear frank:
Yes, I want it.i won’t be fir to live with myself.I ‘ve never cared about first editions per se, but a first edition of THAT book-!
oh my.
I can just see it.
Send the Oxford Verse, please. Never wonder if I’ve found something somewhere else,I don’t look anywhere else any more.Why should I run all the way down to 17th st. to buy dirty, badly made books when i can buy clean, beautiful ones from you without leaving the typewriter?From where i sit,London’s a lot closer that 17th street.
Enclosed please God please find $8. did i tell you about Brian’s lawsuit? he buys physics tomes from a technical bookshop in London, he’s not sloppy and haphazard like me, he brought an expensive set and went down to Rockefeller Plaza and stood in line and got a money order and cabled it or whatever you do with it, he’s a bussinessman, he does things right.
the money order got lost in transit.
Up his Majesty’s Postal service!
