Gordon--I just spent the weekend going through some dealers catalogues and
one of the things I noticed was that there is plenty of Izzi available from
the dealers and even some of the Gaitanos. The price seemed very
reasonable so I guess his spectacular death has done nothing to drive up
the prices of his books. Let me know if I can be of any help locating any
specific titles for you. I had a chance to see Izzi once at Scotland Yard
in Winnetka, IL, with Wayne Dundee. Whereas Wayne seemed very blue collar,
humble and laid back, Izzi was into his "I was in the pen" mode and seemed
kind of separate. Just my impression from the only time I saw him.
