Re: From Val at FT Barrett,

I think my lateness in replying trumps yours, for which huge apologies - Christmas, New Year, a long-distant deadline and flu. I’m afraid I passed Fordlandia on to someone else before your reply. I do have two other books, though, which look fabulous.

Birthright - http://www.amazon.com/Birthright-True-Story-Inspired-Kidnapped/dp/0393066150/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1264517083&sr=8-2
Koestler - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Koestler-Indispensable-Intellectual-Michael-Scammell/dp/0571138535

Both look fabulous. The Koestler is a door-stop (but written by the magnificent Scammell), and I think the more fortean elements of his life are probably a reasonably small part of the tome, which may make it more manageable! Do either (or both) of these appeal?

What is the book you’ve just finished?

Anyway, nice to hear from you! I hope you’re feeling less harried now.

Best,

Val

Hi, Val-

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you; been harried and busy and hurried and whatnot for the last month as I finish up my book and a few other things, but I should have time to do this or any other reviews you might need now. Go ahead and send along anything you'd like reviewed to 37 Park Street #2 Brooklyn, NY 11206.

Word,

Barrett,

Hope all's well.

A book arrived which I thought may interest you:
http://www.amazon.com/Fordlandia-Henry-Fords-Forgotten-Jungle/dp/0805082360

Does it appeal? It's not core forteana, but it's fascinating and so well
written that I think it deserves around 750 words.

Best,

Val
