There's some more coming, but it's dinnertime.
Also have a a place you can go to submit errors, and I'll
hold off reprinting (save for the Doc's and a pair of
Willeford's that are letter-perfect), but I think it's more
likely I'll get help from the PG crew now.
Cheers all.
New Murakami book arrives tomorrow.
