Depressed, I was about to dismiss you out of hand until you quoted the
lyrics of one of my all-time favourite completely underrated (and now sadly
broken up) bands, Grant Lee Buffalo. My God, they are/were brilliant. (:

Yes, , 22 Stories is completely and utterly illegal and I'm quite surprised
that Amazon would let something like that slip through the cracks as it
leaves them open to all sorts of legal accusations from the notoriously
accusatory-minded Salinger. I have a vague recollection that he already
successfully sued the guy who published 22 Stories in the first place who
was selling them on mail order. I wouldn't advise anyone to have anything
to do with it. We all want to meet Salinger, right? But we don't want to
meet him in a courtroom (:
