While rummaging through the "hold folder" a few minutes ago, I came across this April 15 newsletter from Abe Books:
"It's almost Pulitzer time again. The winners of the 2009 Pulitzer Prizes will be announced on April 20th. With the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction regarded as one of the highest awards a novel can receive, you would think winning one would ensure an enduring literary legacy. The winners enjoy their time in the limelight, but not all become the lasting classics one might expect. In some cases, the books even fade into obscurity.
There were only three authors whose names I recognized, and only one book I'd actually read. (Advise and Consent, back in the '60s.) I know. I should have read Dressler, but I haven't. I don't think.
While you're at it, take note of the max prices the various books have brought at Abe Books.
