That makes me very sad. My own copy of the revised annotated copy of Lolita has been a comforting companion for the last fourteen or so years; so well worn that it's cover has was lost.

Alfred Appel Jr., a former student of Nabokov and a Nabokovian whose edition of The Annotated Lolita shaped many readers' understanding of that novel, is dead.  Appel played a major role in helping to establish the academic study of Nabokov in the 1970s, and he will be greatly missed.  Here is his obituary from the New York Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/07/arts/07appel.html?_r=1&hpw
