Obscure Request - Colette Scholars?

[Morgan Ellis]

Yes, I know - as requests go, this is about as obscure as it gets.

That said, I'm trying to track down anyone with a particular interest in the author Colette.

I need some fairly specific reference material, and net searches are falling short of the results I'm looking for.

Thanks in advance,

Morgan

What are you looking for Morgan? Do you want to buy the books? Talk about them?

A good place to buy relatively obscure books is http://www.powells.com. This is an independent US retailer that's run by book lovers for book lovers. Powells also has a decent selection of used books in good condition, so that's a good way to buy books at a reasonable price.

I've got most of the books, but a few of those links are new to me. Thanks

The webmistress of colette.org has been really helpful so far, in spite of our mutual language barriers.

I've also been in discussion with the director of the Colette Musee in France, and am making a trip there next month to collect some data and do more research.

If anyone wants to discuss details of the article with me, send me a PM, as it's decidedly non SP related, and I'd prefer not to go into detail about it on the open board.

While you're in the neighbourhood you should also visit Auxerre and Beaune. They have nothing to do with Colette but they're neat places to visit. Auxerre can be done in a day but Beaune is worth 2 days. Just down the road from Beaune (less than 5km) is Pommery and a little bit further (15km or so) is Montrachet. Both are great places if you're a wine fan.
