My sentiments about MacDonald as well, but since
you've done such a good job
of plucking gems out of the catalogues of
lesser-known authors, I thought
you might know of a great MacDonald book that
really deserves reprinting. If
not I'll put it to the list.
Is there a really great MacDonald novel
(pre-Travis McGee) that is
absolutely outstanding? I just picked up two
MacDonald books reprinted
(since 1987) in hardbound. They are The Brass
Cupcake and Slam the Big Door.
They're next on my TBR pile.
BTW, I'm currently reading Bust and loving
it.
