Fw: PF epigraph on NABOKV-L
From
Date
Body
EDNOTE. Golden words from Mary Bellino, Associate Editor of NABOKOV STUDIES.
NABOKOV-L has been in existence for over ten years and all of its
communications can be searched and retrieved automatically. This is often a
better option than querying the list since you will get the entire history
of the question--and often a better answer than you would otherwise. THEN,
query the list if need be.
