small vanity press.  The publisher went bankrupt at some point in the
1980s.

She is apparently now selling copies off her website (is that right
Suzanne?).  But, one of us would have to buy one off her site to get
them since the Library of Congress doesn't have a copy (and neither does
*any* public library in the US.  Once they are available in bookstores,
that will be an option but the news article quoted yesterday said late
2002.  Is that a typo?  Should it be late 2001?  Or, more likely, are
they saying 2002 because they must wait until the conclusion of the
pending lawsuit(s)?

You'll find that many of us consider Stouffer to be an opportunistic
hag."

Oh, yes, I do believe she's an opportunistic hag, but I still want to read her books.  Why?  Because I want to see what the fuss is about, and compare her books to HP.  The name Potter seems semi-common in books that take place in England, I remember reading "The Dark is Rising" series by Shannon Coooper, and she mentions a family named Potter.  Basically, Stouffer is hag, and thoughI don't want to buy a book that would give her loyalties, I do want to read them. What I meant about the bookstore is to do that after the books are re-published.  THough, maybe if you checked a used bookstore, or thirft shop, they  might have a copy of it.
