COPYING BITS so I can give the books away--Reiman shocked that I would challenge Norman Mailer

Donald H. Reiman, THE STUDY OF MODERN MANUSCRIPTS (Johns Hopkins, 1993).

I have to find the note Mailer wrote on a newspaper article by someone else who was horrified ("MAILER MATTLES ACADEMIC CHUTZPAH!") that I would say Mailer had damaged one of his books: "To Hershel--may his ideas prevail to the sticking point, Norman."
He had read MACBETH, that man.
