Truthfully, I...Hi Les, Susan, Beeenzzz and Angela!<br /><br />Truthfully, I don't know if "The Scream" is a book or just a story with illustrations, it's hard to say because apart from this invite extended by the World Literacy Council, I haven't read anything else about "The Scream". Ofcourse,the invitation keeps referring to it as a book, so that's why I think it's a novel...will have to do some more digging to see what I can come up with. I guess the reason it is priced so high is because it is "for a good cause". Guess Mr.Mistry will have to do something real soon to appease his 'real' fans! ;)<br /><br /><br />Awwww, Melissa, you do say the sweetest things, thanks! :)Lotus Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02081192215823615529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12738985.post-31755421623243726332006-10-17T12:58:00.000-04:002006-10-17T12:58:00.000-04:00i wish i had the magic to make a copy appear on yo...i wish i had the magic to make a copy appear on your doorstep, lotus.hellomelissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11109229454400994627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12738985.post-46676406025154590412006-10-17T12:17:00.000-04:002006-10-17T12:17:00.000-04:00Sounds good, but not 500 bucks good.
