Sure. Falls under VG+ w/slight coffee stain in upper left
corner, in other words, novissimo... I don't want to be too
precise.
About Huston's _Caught Stealing_: excellent job, but why did
he have to use the damn present tense? This mannerism bugged
the hell out of me. Elmore Leonard has occasionally bugged me
similarly with his constant gerunds. End of grammatical rant
and back to our normal programming...
