On 09 Jul 96 Jan Murphy said this about that to Sam Waring:
 
 SW>>      Finding ANY Bramah is hard.  
 
 JM> Both GOLDEN HOURS and KAI-LUNG UNROLLS HIS MAT were published as part
 JM> of Ballantine Books' Adult Fantasy series, edited by Lin Carter.  If
 JM> you're interested in getting a copy of MAT, send me netmail with your
 JM> mailing address and I can put you on our wantlist at the store.
 
     Thanks for the offer, Jan, but that's one of the advantages of me 
*being* a booksearcher--if I *really* want something for myself, I put it 
on Interloc and (maybe) run it in AB, and there I am.  And that's not to 
mention that if a title's in BIP (side note:  do y'all use the CD version 
with the Ingram interface, these days?  We do, and I like it.), I just 
order it and take my 40 per cent. 
 
     As far as Bramah goes, right now he's on my "look for it someday" 
list rather'n my "GOTTA have it" list.  Lots of stuff has been bumped down 
to my "someday" list for a while, since money's rather tight at the 
moment.
 
     ObOnTopic:  I read THE CAT WHO SAID CHEESE last week, and liked it a 
lot better then THE CAT WHO BLEW THE WHISTLE.  It seemed to me to be a 
more "cozy" cozy than she's managed in her past two or three outings.  
I've also been digging some of my Rex Stout titles back out for re-reads; 
this week it's THE BLACK MOUNTAIN, in which we find that Wolfe is actually 
*not* an immovable object. B-{)###  Which reminds me:  I was sorry that I 
didn't get to stop by Murder by the Book when I was in Houston over the 
weekend.  One of my favorite T-shirts is their shirt that has a silhouette 
of Wolfe on it, with the quote "Go to hell--I'm reading. -Archie Goodwin" 
right below.  You wouldn't believe the number of people who have asked 
where *they* could get one a them shirts.... (Trivia:  in which Wolfe 
novel does that quote appear?)

... Any small object, when dropped, will hide under a larger object.
