Has anyone found this yet? I saw it at Lilja's. I called my local Border's and B&N and neither has it. Amazon doesn't even seem to have it (Using the link at bottom)

Thanks. Just did the same. I never heard of it before. Can't imagine it's got a wide reader base if Amazon doesn't even sell it.

They published the King story "Memory" Summer 2006.

Wonder if my B&N carries it. This is out, right? I may just stop by and read it in the store.

I ordered copies straight from Tin House when "Memory" was published as I had never heard of the publication before. Later I saw copies for sale in multiple locations, particularly my local B&N and Hastings. I think it is easier to find than you think if you are looking out for it.

Niether the Borders nor the Barnes and Noble by me sold it. I could only find it at one store--a local chain called Joseph-Beth Booksellers. This is not convenient for me (too much road construction), though, so I'd rather get it on-line.

Just heard from Ms. Mod at SKMB. Steve forgot to tell her about this. I think she will give him a rollockin'. :(

I just picked up a copy at the Amarillo Barnes & Noble. They had a bunch lined up in the magazine section. About 12 bucks with tax and my 10% discount. Pricey little thing. King's poem is pretty short.

How's the rest of the content?

When I got the Paris Review and McSweeney's, I was pleasantly surprised at the rest of the literature.

I don't know yet. I haven't looked at it except to confirm that the King poem was in it. Maybe some other more literary types will have a better answer for you.

i love tin house. awesome source of unexpectedly good stuff. one of those rare gems that seems to survive despite the downturn in smaller publications. like zoetrope: all story and jewels of that ilk.

oh, and for the record, mcsweeney's rocks. :)
