Re: Looking for a book with a specific cover...

Almost a month later, I'm still looking :P

There can't be anything rare about it. I think that particular series circulated around the 1990s. Copies of every other Orwell title of that cover series were very easy to find.

Onward, I guess.

Re: What music do you listen to when you write?

Brian Eno's Music For Airports provides just enough distraction to keep the mind from wandering and not enough distraction to prevent the brain from thinking. I've listened to it countless time, sometimes just for pure relaxation.

Looking for a book with a specific cover...

Hello, I figured this forum might prove fruitful for a more detailed book search, as I'm sure many book buying connoisseurs post here. George Orwell's A Clergyman's Daughter is not a difficult book to find (I've also heard it doesn't rank among his best), but I'm looking for a very specific cover (a...

Re: Where do yall get your books?

I get them wherever I can. Some online, some in stores. I just went on a small road trip and brought back about 3 books (2 from the Kurt Vonnegut Museum in Indianapolis).
