William M. Klimon
I recently came across this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190032858360
What can "rare" possibly mean attached to a paperback copy of James
Clavell's SHOGUN, one of the most popular novels of all time, which may

Pudd'nhead Wilson by
fundock
I went to a book sale today at a local church. Approximately 5000 books,
sorted and alphabetized. Too well sorted almost: boxes marked "first
