Re: Re: What is a good book

Hi Rick,

_I_ agree -- depending on how broadly you define 'pulp fiction'. And 
you're presumably in the same bind I am, where the books you want to 
read are too recent to be out of copyright and too old for anyone to be 
interested in reissuing. And all the rhetoric about how publishers are 
market-driven and want to serve their customers sounds very hollow when 
you discover they can't be bothered to get off their butts and dig out 
their backlists and stick them on the Web for people like us...

Happy reading!

Jon.
