I must admit that I have but three of Evans' books... I don't know why but he never appealed to me much. I don't have any of the Old Hemlock titles... I know you and so many others hold him in very high regard and that's well and good - each to his own. Change my mind - it's open.

I know many don't take to his style- but several of GBE's books are anthologies - collections of other's works, those may be worth a look for you.

I was fortunate to have had several phone conversations with Mr King about his book and his experiences after it was sold out. Then out of the blue, he called me back one day and and said someone who had ordered the book never sent the check and he thought I would appreciate having it- so I may have received the last inscribed copy

btw- i was referring to a different book than that Bump study, written solely by one of the team members. My parent's place's front windows looked out at Connecticut Hill - so I am "required" by geography to have them
