**These are, for most part, widely-available books, and most libraries
should have them, while some are still available at, at the very
least, major university bookstores -- but, at any rate, here's the plea
for help. GD***

From: Chris Kushmider <chriskus@pottsville.infi.net>

Hello,

I quietly break the normal structure of this list to issue a plea regarding
my inability to locate certain VN criticisms. I am doing a paper on the
(possible) internal authorship of Pale Fire for my 11th grade English
class, and the following books/specific pages are something I am in need
of. If anyone knows of how I could acquire these books within the next 2
weeks, I'd be rather pleased. Alternately, if anyone has any of these
books and would be gracious enough to xerox these pages/fax these pages
(I'd be glad to cover any expenses), I'm sure it would culminate in the
same effect. Thank you - Chris
