_McSweeney's Quarterly_ is hard to find. A very sharp woman (in
sensational cowboy boots that she made herself) at the Gotham Book Mart in
New York City told me that a reprint of #4 is contemplated (with slight
differences to distinguish it from the original). The $22 issue #4 is
actually a set of pamphlets in a box -- obviously designed for collectors.
Paul Maliszewski tells me he has not heard about this rumored re-issue.

Perhaps someone could contact McSweeney's thru their web site andley
NABOKV-L know what is going on.
