I\ntried to post the following review:\n\n=================================================================\n\"Bibliomen:  Twenty Two Characters in Search of a Book\", is a\nbrilliant and curious little work.  It contains twenty one (yes, only\ntwenty-one, which is itself curious) 2-3 page biographies that are\nintricately intertwined.  Characters write biographies about characters\nthat never existed.  These characters then have their own biographies\nlater.  Some characters die mysteriously.  Louis Gold, from \"Peace,\"\nmakes a brief appearance.\n\n    It's like an intricate monkey-fist knot, or perhaps a page from the\nBook of Kells.  There are all these delicate connections.  It's very\nBorges-ian.  It's also fun.\n\n    I paid $7.50 for a soft-cover.  It's short (about 95 pages), and\nabout 1/3 of it are illustrations.\n\n    Strongly recommended!\n=================================================================\n\n   Speaking of reviews, I was browsing amazon.com and was surprised\nto see that a lot of Wolfe's books don't have any reader reviews \nposted.  It would be a great service if some knowledgeable souls would\nwrite a short bit for some of books listed.  It would also help promote\nWolfe's work.   _Castle of Days_ has no reviews, _Endangered Species_\nhas only one, _The Devil in a Forest_ and _Soldier of Arete_ have no\nreviews either.\n\n   Finally, can anyone provide a review for the audio tapes that\nWolfe has recorded and are listed on amazon.com?  Are they any good?\nDo they lend anything new?\n\n                 Kieran Mullen"
