Roger,
I've searched extensively for Verne's "Sphinx of the Ice Fields," and am thrilled to learn that you have a copy. Is it, indeed, the complete, unabridged text of the novel? Approximately how many pages is it in length? I would be most grateful if you could take the time and trouble to xerox the novel and mail it to me; I will certainly reimburse you for the cost of copying and postage. I'm a graduate student at Indiana University of PA, and I am working on a paper exploring the linkages between Verne and Poe; thus, a reproduction of the complete text of the novel is exactly what I need. (Could you also include copies of the front pages of the book that detail its publication history and title? I'll need those for citations in the paper. Also, if the book includes an introduction or preface related to Verne's novel, or discussing his and Poe's novels in tandem, could you copy and send along those as well?) The paper is due December 9, so I'd like to get started on Verne's novel as soon as I can. If the copies are clean enough, when I've finished the paper, I'd be interested in scanning the text into electronic form and making it available to Zvi for posting on his Verne website. Please let me know if you can help me out; I would really appreciate it. This novel, despite its connection to Poe's high profile novel, is impossible to find! (Which makes it a good subject for a paper, of course.)
Thank you,

Dear Miki- If no better solution appears, send me your address, and I will xerox my copy of The Sphinx of the Ice (I O Evans edition, which also includes Edgar Allen Poe's 'The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym'- to which, Verne's tale is a sequel), and mail it to you. I also started reading JV at 6! -Roger Leyonmark
