I'm sorry to hear about the Vintage edition of *One of Ours *no longer
being available. This must be quite recent: I taught it in Fall 2017, and
our bookstore was able to get copies for about 35 students with no problem.
Vintage just published a 100th anniversary edition of *My Antonia, *thanks
to the influence of the Cather Foundation (Andy, I think you were central
in this effort - apologies if I am leaving crucial others out). Do we have
any pull with Vintage? I hate to think of *One of Ours *being out of print.
It has always gone over quite well with my students.
Best,
Julie
