My corncob pipe has a sticker proclaiming it a Missouri Meerschaum. I don't know if my esteemed pipe-smoking colleagues have ever tried a real meerschaum, but I have not.
Your mention of The Purloined Letter reminded me of a bibliographic curiosity I came across last year. I thought I'd share it with you.

Nice find. SRLF is a real treasure trove.
A very nice find indeed. I'm reading the Purloined Letter in connection with Jacques Lacan's lecture by the same title. Lacan is incomprehensible, but I'm able to get something out of it due to a friend's transcription of a seminar he took on psychoanalysis at LSU.
Dave, you're a brave man.
