to justify our interest in Lewis, Pound, etc. to the Information Age
philistines who dominate university administrations.  ;-)

Ah, but of course!  With usura wool comes not to market....
 
Incidentally, Tim you probably already know, but those who

into a number of US and Canadian university libraries (and
into their circulating collections).
