Re: I Wanna Buy a Book

Hi, Peter.  Hi, Everybody.

Actually, I'm more interested in owning it than in reading it.   I realize
this interest may not speak well of the current state of my mental health,
and humbly asked to be humored.

Since this book is so undesirable, my chances of finding it will be all the
better for that, I think.

So, does anybody have a copy of Lunatic Lovers of Language that they would
like to sell?

Thanks for all input on this issue.

:-)

original message

Are you _sure_ you want this book? I've read it, and found it pretty
fluffy in terms of content, plus she takes a rather dim view of the
conlanging
activity. Several other people on this list have expressed their displeasure
in the book.

However, if you still want to read it, try an interlibrary loan. But I
would definitely recommend against purchasing it, seeing as it is out of
print and
a sorry waste of a lovely tree. IMO. :)
