Perhaps you were not aware that he's not *that* famous.

He is most famous for beating Jackie Beers, Fischer's friend.

My point, exactly.

Right, but if you're looking for a reason to chide Sam for cross-
posting, it would be easy to find a thousand examples better than this
one.

This announcement actually caught my eye because I remember Joe
Tamargofrom occasional visits to the Flea House in the 60s. I last
saw him about 25 years ago and I was happy to hear that he's still
with us and writing. I'll probably order the book if and when it shows
up on Amazon. I could use a Spanish refresher course, though not
necessarily the kind that will get me thrown out of bars...

The book is available right now on Amazon, today:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/092389179X

The book is really excellent.Tamargois an old friend and I promised
to publish it two years ago before he wrote it, as a favor not
thinking much would come of it, but it turns out that the book is
really great, possibly the best book of its kind ever written.

When I ordered this book from Amazon, I didn't have particularly high
expectations. But now that I have it, I'm enjoying it immensely. It's
like getting several informal Spanish lessons from an urbane and witty
dinner companion.

Sam, please pass my compliments on to Joe. He and I had a couple of
brief conversations in the Game Room around 1980, but unless he has a
Brandwein-like memory, he probably wouldn't remember me.
