You're not the only one!

I have a fine copy of both the US and British editions of Dark Carnival for sale. anyone interested?

I may be.

I held this beauty in my hands today. The very one Ray signed to Maggie back in 1947.

I hope you remembered to put it back!

When I went to place it back on its shelf, Ray ask for it, took it, and held it.

Well, he has such a complex filing system; he didn't want you messing it up

Hey - it was laying on his TV stand!

That's what I mean: a complex filing system, one which no one else can understand

Donn Albright tried once and found Ray a regular Grandma Spaulding as to his system!

An example to his system: Once, Ray asked me if I could get him Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Season 1 on DVD, as he wanted to see Riabouchinska. I said I would. So I had it shipped to his house. He watched it. About a year later, he asked me if I could get Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Season 1 for him. I said that I got that for you last year! He said "I can't find it. It's somewhere in the house." I had to laugh. I thought that was just adorable. And, having been in the house (and the basement), I can certainly see why he couldn't find it!
