I HATE ISBNs

Mostly because of the ignorant Billy & Betty Blackberrys I have to reach around to get the expensive books that they have passed over while scanning the ISBNs of the crap that they buy to sell for fifty percent more than they paid for it. However, this ISBN leads you to some of the best autobiographical writing I've read in the last 30 years:  0-7434-1065-3.
Thisbn should make sure that you buy John Dunning's Booked To Die in the January 2001 Pocket Books first paperback version. Yes, the story is wonderful, but as a philosophical piece, and soul-baring, Dunning has surpassed himself in his nine page "Then and Now" essay that introduces the book. Buy it. Read it. NOW !
