And I just ordered it from Amazon.com.  I know that your note can be
construed as an advertisement but, thank you.

While on the subject of books about Twain, a recent reading of Ms.
Fishkin's "Lighting Out for the Territory" made me want to buy "Was Huck
Black?;...".  Unfortunately, the font size of the paperback edition is
way too small for my aging eyes (and for other eyes not so aged, I
suspect), so I decided to get the hard cover instead. To my surprise,
Amazon reports:

    Was Huck Black?; Mark Twain and African-American Voices
                  by Shelley Fisher Fishkin
                   Our Price: $30.00
                   Hardcover - 270 pages (April 1993)

     Not Yet Available: You may still order this title.
     We will ship it to you when it is released by the publisher.

A book published in 1993 that is "Not Yet Available"?  What Gives?
