the fact is....i am still here at the computer because to get my mind off the aickman i started looking for signed first editions of nooteboom on abe. should i buy? (yvonne is not allowed to answer this question.) and honestly, should i get my aickman? it can be done for $135, which price includes 7 day shipping from california... if it had been a sum completely astronomical, like $500, i would simply sigh and forget it, but this is not so steep for me to be unable to afford it, and yet costly enough to matter when it comes to bread and shelter. *agonise*
