John P.
Do you know the term for the little metal things that hold up
adjustable bookshelves? I'd like to try to buy some online, but I am

(Slightly OT) Loons, Worms & John Pelan's Obsessions by
Chris Barker
In this site John Pelan said with characteristic antagonism:
"Of course, Mr. Barker is a well-known loon that I no longer bother

odd volumes from a set by
Jean B.
I was gazing once again at two volumes that I have. From the
exterior they look unexciting, and I wondered why I got them. I
was going to give them away but happened to open them only to be

They are volumes 2 and 3 of a set. ...
