What is a "hypermodern?"

> Bargain-shmargain. I am not blaming you, Pepper or Quill & Brush, but there are just some days when these prices are nuts. If I had an answer, I would give it, but I just don't know. I suppose if I had some rarity (but please God, don't make it something with a second state dust-jacket) I would price it near the moon, but I think these prices are way out of hand. In the meantime I will be happy with my reprints, my Otto Penzler recreations, and the lovely old paperbacks. Sorry, just needed to vent. Thanks for listening. P. S.: there will be a panel at Bouchercon'97 in Monterey on the skyrocketing costs of hypermoderns (and who is to blame). Steve Stiwell, Nelson Freck and others will be on the panel. It should be fun.
