Great request. One of the heights of publishing history was the release
of the Cantos in paperback. I would like to add a request for the
Cantos in a searchable, secure e-book format. I would be ever in the
debt of New Directions if I could read them on my Pocket PC, which is
always with me. And I would pay the same price for it as I do for the
printed version.
