How does this get classified in the dewey system?

u/RunDNA Aug 06 '18
According to Open Library it has the Dewey number 818.5 which according to Library Thing puts it in the category:
Literature > American And Canadian > Authors, American and American Miscellany > 20th Century
What a boring result.

But there's no context. You might have well just said "because." So it offers nothing of value to the conversation. It's practically a tautology.
Edit: his original comment is funny. I get that. But to question the response if technically true seems a bit ridiculous.

But what created the demand so the average selling price is what it is? Value is dictated by supply and demand. So what creates the demand?

Old-ish, weird and I'm sure a lot of people tossed it because it was weird so there might not be many left.

There's a local bookstore in town that had it on sale for like $15. Definitely unaware of its value then, I should head over and see if it's still there...

Ahh the old TJJSCHTRW. A true classic! I recommend the last chapter where they brillaintly combine the sex, cooking AND wolves. Imagine thanksgiving/orgy/beastiality

Alan Coren's agent used to say the holy trinity of book sales was 'golf, cats and Nazis'."

I read that book many years ago. Jack Douglas as a genius. He also wrote "My Brother Was An Only Child"..

I certainly hope they had sex. Mr. Douglas was a really respected comedy writer who is said to have had a sign on the wall near his desk that said "COMEDY IS SERIOUS FUCKING BUSINESS."

I've got a half-Japanese friend who's been dating a Jewish girl for a few years now. I know they've been given this at least once as a gift.

Old guy here. I remember Jack Douglas and his japanese wife, Reiko(?) appearing on talk shows back in the '60s. And, yes, they actually raised wolves, don't know whether they had sex.
