Curiously, the cover title of Blake's 1939 book printed on the binding by the publisher (the Corten Company), was _An American Looks at Karl Marx_ (yet, when you open the book the title _page_ is "Elements of Marxian Economic Theory and its Criticism_). Perhaps this was a marketing decision by the publishers (who, also oddly and I suspect without Blake's agreement, under the author's name on the title page wrote: "Formerly Managing Director, London Scottish Banking Corporation; Investment Director Grain Union, S.A., (Antwerp); Associate Editor Magazine of Wall Street" ("S.A." -- South Africa ???). At one time, not so many years ago, there were a lot of copies of this book floating around in used bookstores in New York, but I gather it is harder to find a copy now. If you think it is hard to get copies of used books in the UK, think of how hard it must be to get copies of books published in the US or UK in Latin America, Asia, Africa, etc.! For future reference, you might want to try searching for out-of-print books at http://www.addall.com (but you might have to pay a premium price!). -- A question for you and others on the list? * What _other_ out-of-print books have you been searching for years for? > Can you tell me anything about Blake and his rel with Coontz? or/and others Rakesh has already answered that question and it is a topic he knows much more about than I.
