Night of the Shadow by Maxwell Grant (Dennis Lynds) part of the infamous Shadow revival in the 60s. This was thru a book serach service as I felt it was high time I completed the run of this paperback series. Nine books--the first written by the Shadow's creator Walter Gibson (Return of the Shadow), the other eight by Lynds. Now have 5 of the 9 and my supplier Tina at the News Outlet has orders to continue the hunt hang the cost (which has avergaged $20 for a 50 cent book.
Still not buying with money tight, but I'm an avid patron of the libraryThe most recent for me was the Three Muskateers trilogy by Dumas. I'm determined to read them all when I find the time.

The Oxford Book of American Poetry (anthology), chosen and Edited by David Lehman. Copyright 2006, note from the introduction: "I have opted to provide succinct headnotes for each of the poets in the pages that follow. I hope that these notes stimulate further reading of the poets and their critics, biographers, and historians. And I would echo F.O. Matthiessen's closing declaration from 1950, which applies with even greater force today: 'We have produced by now a body of poetry of absorbing quality: If this poetry reveals violent contrasts and unresolved conflicts, it corresponds thereby to American life.'" ....Ithaca, NY, December, 2005,

Sound of the wind and sound of the sea,
Are calling and whispering in my ear,
Whifflingpin! Why stayest thou here?
