(I'm 55.) For decades I tried to remember the title, with no luck. Then just today, through the site Stump the Bookseller, I learned it ... and exactly like you I thought, "Well, I'll just find it online." And then just like you I found that the only copy recently available had sold for $100!<br /><br />Here's what I just wrote on Facebook about it:<br />https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151833247287265&set=a.10150090220592265.292793.630417264&type=1<br /><br />I'm happy a fellow fan of the book found her long-lost copy, and I was overjoyed to see the two spreads you posted. And honestly, given that the book is out of print and virtually no copies exist (there's apparently ONE in all of NYC's libraries, and it's at Queens College and not a public library), I don't know that anyone would mind if you posted all the pages. You might very well be saving an otherwise lost book.<br /><br />I did find one copy online today of Krantz's 1967 apparent follow-up book, The Children in the Water, for $50 and ordered it. Don't know anything about it other than it seems to star the same characters.<br /><br />With regards,<br />Frank LoveceFrank Lovecenoreply@blogger.com
