PESO: Rowan Oak

[Christine Aguila]

ugh!  I've got to get my eyes checked--again!  Thanks, Paul.  I'll do a 
re-do--and I agree about As I Lay Dying.  I actually like "The Unvanquished" 
a lot & "Sound & the Fury."  Darrel & I saw a 1st edition of S& F WITH the 
dust jacket in the archives.  Very rare to see a dust jacket of that novel 
in good condition.  Cheers, Christine
