I'll get that one the next time I get one of those coupons or discounts. I
should've bought it with my Christmas gift certificate. Instead of buying a
book that I didn't get around to reading.

He was at the Gathering in September 1999.

I got 502 hits by searching on Google, although most of them might simply
mention the Gould and Richter fillums. Some in French, too. (If you use the
new advanced capabilities of Google, you can really go to town by excluding
certain terms, and even excluding web sites.)

Uhm, the techie editor must ask... Did you spell it as "Bruno Monsaingeon"?
Because when I entered that at French Amazon, I found "Non, je ne suis pas
du tout un excentrique" for sale. (Love that title!) Plus "Ecrits de Glenn
Gould."

Anyway, the French Amazon (which sounds like a really tall woman from Paris
<g>) is fairly new, so it's possible their search engine was lagging.
