Re: Customized Nabokov Stamps

Hi, Jerry.
Yes, Gene Barabtarlo and I (& probably others) contacted the U.S. Post
Office about a VN centennial stamp for 1999. The P.O. has some sort of

explanation. On the other hand, Ayn Rand of "Fountainhead" and "Atlas
Shrugged"
fame did get her stamp--to our intense irritation.
