I love the memory of that newstand, to which I always went when I lived in
NYC in mid 70ıs and where I went to get some French papers...not too far
from some of the translation agency I used to work with...
Two ideas that have nothing to do with NYC...
* still to this day I find used pulps or some interesting rarities (Iım just
an occasional collector of some authors) in cardboard boxes at used
bookstores in small towns in Michigan...about four months ago I found a
small box in a quite decrepit store ³downriver² with a few Jim
Thompsonıs...and the book version of The Night and the City with picture of
the film on it...but you had to buy the whole box (~ 30 books) for
$5...!...thereıs gotta be a few of those around the rest of the land...
* check the website of ww.dawntreaderbooks.com/ they are excellent and as
a long time resident of Ann Arbor, I guarantee their reputation...
