My sentiments about MacDonald as well, but since you've done
such a good job of plucking gems out of the catalogues of
lesser-known authors, I thought you might know of a great
MacDonald book that really deserves reprinting. If not I'll
put it to the list.
Is there a really great MacDonald novel (pre-Travis McGee)
that is absolutely outstanding? I just picked up two
MacDonald books reprinted
(since 1987) in hardbound. They are The Brass Cupcake and
Slam the Big Door. They're next on my TBR pile.
BTW, I'm currently reading Bust and loving it.
