From Rick Garner: "Tales From Margaritaville" has been re-released with a new intro from Jimmy. The intro was about 3 pages, just long enough not to get too many stares standing and reading it in the bookshop! It was interesting, but didn't seem worth the $14 or so softcover price, just for the new intro.
Jimmy basically said that he'd been asked for a new intro, and recent used bookstore experiences had given him new insights into the immortality of the author. He said that during one recent long island visit, he'd been a regular shopper at the small native store, and the owner had called him it to show him new additions to the used book bin. Among the collection was "A Purple Place for Dying", the only John McDonald Travis McGee novel that Jimmy had yet to read, so he'd quickly snapped it up. He also said that he'd been considering the fate of Tully Mars, and once more hinted that we'd be seeing more of him in the near future.
