I would like to have a readable copy of "Little Big" by John Crowley added to
the collection. There is a copy in the collection but is rated fair and has
missing pages, scanning errors, and is pretty much illegible.
Here is the book's synopsis.
Little, Big tells the epic story of Smoky Barnable -- an anonymous young man
who meets and falls in love with Daily Alice Drinkwater, and goes to live with
her in Edgewood, a place not found on any map. In an impossible mansion full of
her relatives, who all seem to have ties to another world not far away, Smoky
fathers a family and tries to learn what tale he has found himself in -- and
how it is to end.
It's a fairy book, but not a children's book. It's a haunting book, but no
ghosts appear. In other words, it's a great book and should be available for
our customers to read.

committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is
the only thing that ever has."--Margaret Mead
