I'm happy that you found the information helpful.

 

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.

 

In solidarity, Jerry
