I had little to say on the subject of Lewis, having gained the impression (unfavorable to me) that he mixes theology with his fantasy. I recall a devastating review of "Out of the Silent Planet" andor "Perelandra" by Willy Ley. I left Mr Hume very happy with 4 Stapledon books clutched in his hot hands and a promise to try and find STAR MAKER for him (as it turned out, I didn't have it in stock after all) and LAST MEN IN LONDON and DARKNESS AND THE LIGHT. I got these titles from dealer Claude Held, whom I shall expect to give me $10's credit for this priceless free plug. (Come to think of it, it does have a price: $10.) The next day I learned who my benefactor was, who it was who steered Mr Hume on to me in the Satyr Bookshop: My very own art client, Chas McNutt. But Charlie, if you are going to write my name for strangers any more in the future, I shall have to ask you to improve your chirography to the point of legibility. Really!
