Hell MJ, Pierre,
There's a fairly good stack of Meyer books for sale (among
them "The Umbrella of Aesculapius") at Rochester's lit center,
Writer's and Books (740 University Ave., Roch., NY 14607-
1259 [log in to unmask]). Most are rather inexpensive... and first
editions brimming with great illustrations, (early David Hockney
among them). Don't know if they'd ship, but it's worth a try. Also
found a number of Jargon titles, (Meyer, Williams) at the Strand
in NYC. And I know they mailorder.
Cheers,
Gerald S.
