A data point in support of your post: I often search for e-books at my local library (Regina, Canada). I checked just now & there are 157 Agatha Christies available, but only 10 hits for Harlan Ellison (whom I have always been a big fan of), and only 3 of those are collections of his stories. Sad.

Thanks for this. A terrific time capsule of 1970s Regina. “Chairman Wally” with his little red book. Vintage street views. Gigantic Detroit sedans in parking lots. Lorne Harasen. And those gigantic sideburns!

Oh rats. I only recently learned that ending texts with a period signalled hostile intent … Now I find out adding the airport hashtag to “tweets” is passé. (While I’m at it, pretty sure the ellipsis is another boomer affectation) #yqr
