Maybe it's more a case of THE LOST BOOK? I wonder what happened to it. The library computer says they have it.

As soon as they reply in the affirmative (i.e. that they can actually find it) I can go and pick it up.<br />Best,<br />GwilymGwil Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03305768121713053837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4638619958588096610.post-15198496418348244552010-07-01T10:02:56.408+01:002010-07-01T10:02:56.408+01:00I hadn't noticed the review, Gwilym.Thank you ...I hadn't noticed the review, Gwilym.Thank you for pointing it out. It's rather nice (and that's another of my translations he is quoting) and perfectly fair. The curse of books published in Hungary is not that no-one buys them. They are bought by plenty of tourists and expats returning to Hungary in one or two bookshops in Budapest so they go into second, third and fourth editions. But the people that buy them are not the kind that write reviews or articles - and of course even if they did write such no paper abroad would print them because the books are unavailable there. They are mostly hidden books in effect.<br /><br />I'll say a little about how The Lost Rider came about in a post later today.George Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08889600788146987089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4638619958588096610.post-2145987929256121602010-07-01T08:01:36.150+01:002010-07-01T08:01:36.150+01:00Only 3 used paperback copies at Amazon - priced fr...Only 3 used paperback copies at Amazon - priced from $36.01.<br /><br />After reading the review I have the feeling it might one day become something of a collectable.
