RIP Bernard Stone by Alfred Armstrong
http://www.guardian.co.uk/obituaries/story/0,,1409332,00.html I concur about the unnerving nature of the Freud waxwork. But that aside, Stone's was one of the great places for anyone seeking out-of-the-way books. He always had a stock of Gaberbocchus Press items, for example. -- Alfred Armstrong

Today I found Haruki Murakami's "Pinball, 1973" at a FOL shop and paid 50 cents! The book was published in 1980 by Kodansha, translated and published in English in 1985, and my copy is the ninth printing of 1994. My copy has been gently read and its only fault is some scuffing and edgewear to the...
