More Notes of a Dirty Old Man The Uncollected Columns - Coming September...
- Thread starter roni
- Start date
Were the materials in this soon to be released book ever appeared in any Sparrow books before?
Unbelievable that there are still prose uncollected after 2000. But fortunately it is SO.
I meant to comment on this before, but I forgot. I'm really excited by this news. I have always wished there were more Notes... collected. and more letters.
September seems so far away...heh.

It's rough for sure, there are a lot of dropped words and typos. But it is a proof after all, I assume they will fix all of that.
Content-wise, I've only just started to dip in to it, but there was a great piece already by page 22, about the trip to New Orleans to sign the pages for Crucifix.
Actually, the one before that was great too. I don't want to ruin it for anyone. But so far, so good.

I suppose asking about a hardcover is...nevermind. :eek:
Looking forward to this one.

Managed to snag (i.e. I purchased it) myself an ARC via abebooks.
Just read the Crucifix tale. Enjoying this volume so far, despite the odd typo etc. Sure it will be a good seller for City Lights.
I wonder how many more Notes titles could be produced? I'd read them all - rough, ready or ropey :abge:

well glad to see you guys are still getting your advance proofs. at least people who should actually be reviewing them get the chance to. this is great news. can't wait for September. any chance you can post some of the titles? or a contents page?
Stoked there's something to look forward to. Probably wont be able to afford it though.
Anything I make gets swallowed up by credit card companies. If anyone is in need of a kidney let me know.

I just noticed City Lights has a PDF file with a 25 page excerpt from the book you can download!
These publishers need to slow down. I'll be dead by the time I catch up. haha.
