I once sp...OH!!! Somebody actually posted THIS!!!<br /><br />I once spent months downloading thousands of pages of Flavio Colin art, hoping I could find his adaptation of "Metzengerstein". No dice. Then I found it for sale on the website of a bookstore... in Brazil. I was NOT able to use their website to buy it. But... they had an e-mail listed.<br /><br />I contacted the store, and asked, "Can you ship to the US?" A nice girl replied, asking for my zip code, she then gave me the total price including shipping, a week later, I HAD THE BOOK!!! This is, to date, the ONLY book I have ever bought, MYSELF, from Brazil, without having to have someone living there buy it for me and then mail it to me (with a "finder's fee" and double the shipping costs).<br /><br />A year later, I contacted the store again... and got NO reply. My impression was... that girl had done something she WASN'T supposed to... and had either gotten a severe reprimand, or been FIRED... for selling me that book.<br /><br />Brazil continues to have this weird sort of "iron curtain" around it when it comes to being able to buy anything from outside the country.<br /><br />Flavio Colin's "METZENGERSTEIN" is one of my favorites. I did very little clean-up, then COLORED it and translated it into English.<br /><br />http://professorhswaybackmachine.blogspot.com/2017/07/poe-1992.htmlHenry R.
