Re: Re: Looking for Starboard Wine -- new edition on the way

Thanks so much to everyone for your help and suggestions. Unfortunately for us, the new Wesleyan edition will not be published until the fall of 2008. I will continue to check used book sellers for an inexpensive copy (hoping, perhaps, someone might not know what he has!) and ultimately buy the new one when it comes out. The head of the English Department assures me I have ordered enough for our purposes, but the researcher in me hates when I can't find something!
 
Anyway, if you're anywhere near Detroit, please come hear Mr. Delany speak at my institution. He will be at Marygrove College on Friday, April 11, 2008, as part of our Contemporary American Authors Lecture Series. The event begins at 8 p.m. and is free and open to the public. Thanks again!

I just (in the last 20 minutes or so) heard from Chip that "Wesleyan
will be bringing out within the year new editions of both *The
Jewel-hinged Jaw* and *Starboard Wine.*"

Since Chip won't be speaking at your college until next April, it
would probably be best to wait a few months and pick up a brand-new
(and far less expensive) copy.
