Probably still in print in one or both versions, but this store is currently out of it, as we used to say. In fact, on the day of this posting, Sunday September 3, we seem to be out of everything. It's difficult to walk through the store due to our excess of inventory, and yet dozens of would-be customers came in today looking for a book that was out of stock, or of which we had never heard, or which we would never carry short of a court order ( don't ask ).<BR/>I promise to want to have the book you're looking for next time you come in, except for that court-ordered category.Jim Mallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06528189549521792659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18084177.post-1157245055277417402006-09-02T19:57:00.000-05:002006-09-02T19:57:00.000-05:00Joyce should close your eyes in a hurry, unless th...Joyce should close your eyes in a hurry, unless the Guiness has done the job first.<BR/>The Murphy book is probably titled something more like They Were All So Young, but I think that I sold it a couple of weeks ago. Author is Amanda (? ) Vaill ( ? ) <BR/>You should also all read Picasso and Dora by James Lord, which has been out of stock for two years.

I thought it was 'out of sight, out of reach of Jim's sarcasm...' but apparently, I was wrong.<BR/><BR/>Oh well, it makes me feel like I'm not thousands of miles away. Not that I really needed that yet... but I'm sure it will come in handy someday.<BR/><BR/>On another note, while you plugged Sarah and Gerald Murphy and Picasso who was in love with Sarah (as was Hemmingway), you didn't plug the amazing book about them that I'm sure you have hidden back in the biography stacks. So, I'm going to plug it for you and while I'm at it, I'm going to offer whomever finds it 1 euro (which kicks the dollar's butt, especially in Ireland) because I couldn't find it last week (and I had a knack for finding just about anything in the store). The book's title is When We Were Young. Start digging!<BR/><BR/>Hi to Mr. and Mrs. Robinson and lovely little Audrey Robinson. I'm sorry we never brunched. I had really been looking forward to that. Can we email instead? Jim will give my address to you if you ask him kindly.<BR/><BR/>Hi also to Gabe. So glad you got the job! It's the best one I ever had (apart from teaching which can't really be compared to any other jobs) so I'm sure you'll really enjoy it. There's a green journal on the counter back there somewhere and it would be swell if you'd write in to keep up a tradition and to amuse Jim. Ask him to tell you the story about that journal someday. Maybe he'll even post the story... And tell your roommate hi for me. I'm sorry I didn't get to say goodbye to him.<BR/><BR/>C'est tout pour maintenant. I must go drink guinness with the lads... and then read some Joyce until I close me eyes.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12496625359297849086noreply@blogger.com
