EDITORIAL NOTE. VN bibliographer Michael Juliar provides the answer to an
earlier question that is repeated below. The answer follows.

From: Michael Juliar <mlj@mink.mt.att.com>

The New York Times Book Review, 30 July 1995, page 21,
contains a review of Robert Michael Pyle's book "Where
Bigfoot Walks". The interest here is not the book, but the
author who, according to the review, and the dust jacket
which I checked out at a local bookstore, is "now editing a
collection of butterfly writings by Vladimir Nabokov." The
author does have many lepidopterological books, including
field guides, under his belt according to the list of other
books by the author at the beginning of the book.

Does anyone know anything else about this writer and this
particular project?

Re: my note about RM Pyle and VN's lep papers

Nikki Smith, the literary agent for VN's estate, tells me
that Pyle may once (years ago) have been working on VN's
lep papers, but that that is no longer the case. Brian
Boyd holds that license now.
