Critical encounters :

Author: Riley, Dick.
Publication: New York : Ungar, 1978

with essays on Bradbury's work, which should help satisfy those constantly asking about his themes. With over 650 libraries listed as having it, ask a reference librarian near you!

Ana Mafaldathe books and articles aren't available in the Portuguese libraries and most are out of print so I cannot buy them, and it takes months for them come when I buy them, does any of you have a skanner and send me some of the articles?
Thank you

Mr. DarkI don't have a scanner -- technological primitivist that I am -- but both books I listed above (collections of critical essays) were recently purchased through Amazon.com. They are still available. If Amazon.com supports shipments to Portugal, I would recommend ordering those.

Ana Mafaldathe two you mention Mr Dark I already have, I was talking about those Dandelion presents, but thank you very much. I often use amazon but it takes too much time and it is very expensive I pay more for them to send me the books than the books cost!!
16 April 2003, 10:07 AM
Mr. DarkI forget about costs and delays associated with international shipping. Sorry about that!
