Am I to take it that the said correspondent sells review copies on a
certain well known interactive online classified advertising service?
I paid six dollars for my first edition of Djuna Barnes Nightwood,
deciding I would like to read it again I found two copies, one for $150
US and the other for $210 US. Now, if this isn't capitalist speculation
grown fat on excess superannuation funds sucked yet again from the blood
of working women and men, then I should start writing horror novels! )-:
Is there any money left in it?
Has anyone, BTW, counted the number of references to gothic fictions in
the Progress Publishers English editions of Marx's Capital and how many
the Penguin English translation removed? (As Marx said; a thing of air.)
