I have IS UNDERGROUND, I'm pretty sure, and you can have my copy. I'll check when I get home, but if I don't get back to you sometime next week, remind me. I have no memory. I also have THE SCHOLARS OF NIGHT, but will never part with it.

That would be great! Are you sure you don't want to keep it, though? It's awfully hard to find.

I remember it pretty well, and I don't think I'll reread it again. Also, do you have MIDNIGHT IS A PLACE? That's a prequel to IS UNDERGROUND.

Yes, I have that one.
