RE: RARA-AVIS: Re: John's Grill

Gilbert, Len (lgilbert@inpower.com)
Tue, 2 Dec 1997 21:58:17 -0800 How's this for weird. Talk of the Dashiell Hammett tour on the list. I
go home from work and stop off at Books, Inc on Market near Castro. I
overhear a guy trying to find Dashiell Hammett's tour book. The staff is
trying, but having problems so I tell them it's actually Don Herron's
Dashiell Hammett walking tour. Hope that it's still in print. Is that
guy on the list or was that a weird coincidence? Fate always does play a
part in any hardboiled tale...
