Hey Jules,
Just read Ben Smith's e-mail this morning. I mailed a book to him the same time I mailed 4 to you...so should be there any time now.
Let me know when [it gets to you] and I'll let Ben know, too. Maybe he'll put pix of PolyEster up on one of his sites.

Ben,
Been waiting to hear from PolyEster...just called them and spoke with Jules about 1/2 hour ago. Said he'd been away a few days, but will check for packages...then sent the email below.
Maybe delivery slower because package heavier...it's not like the post office didn't charge me much extra...but what the fuck.
Maybe customs agents are jerking off to them now.
I'll post on your blog site when they arrive. I didn't expect you to feature me, again, like that. Very, very cool.
I just googled "alternative bookstore" and came up with PolyEster. Seems he -- Gonzo -- ran with the same crowd that my Best Man did -- Zappa, Brian "Beach Boys" Wilson, did back in 1969 California.
We seek each other out like atoms forging molecules spit out from the belly of stars. Makes one take a deep breath and hold it in for an extra heartbeat.
Keep shining, my friend,
Mike.

Hey Mr. Castro! Thanks for the call and kind words, we still haven't received your package just yet. I'm keeping an eye out and will let you know when they arrive.

Hey Jules,
If the books haven't arrived (posted to PO Box 73, no signature required) by the time you see this email they must either be lost or've been confiscated by Customs. Maybe Ben's got through because his same-size-as-your's parcel only weighed 26 ozs. Your's about 100 oz. at 4 books. Maybe higher weights require open box inspections, and once pages were rifled through, were declared "fair game" for the books' anti-authoritarian ribaldry. And so were either rubbished or "appropriated."
My fault it's all a mystery...should've insured and had certified. But it was expensive enough as it was to ship in a plain cardboard box. However, if I will package them into a US Post Office box, whatever I can fit into it is a flat $45...no matter the weight. Also, looks like I might be able to fit a 5th book into the USPO box, but at least 4, same as before.
IF YOU'RE OK WITH IT, I'LL TRY FOR ANOTHER SHIPMENT TO REACH YOU, JULES, TO YOUR ATTN.
If you email back it's all good, will you also give me your Last Name? The post officer gave me a funny look after filling out the Australian Customs Form when he noticed I was posting to "Attn: Jules." Jules, who? "I dunno." Ooookayay.
Maybe Customs thought it odd, too. (Hey, if I weren't a rambling paranoid, could I have created such a crazy genius masterpiece?) Also, I'll have the shipment tracked this time by posting it certified, which requires a signature.
Let me know. And if it's a "go," to which address (P. O. Box or Brunswick Street) is the better drop for packages requiring a signature.
The shit we go drudge through to get the word out!
Mike.

Hey Mike,
Sorry about the delay in responding, have been short staffed and snowed under. Some good news (or bad depending) the box sent 23/02 arrived this morning. Hopefully you haven't sent out the second shipment yet. I've been away and haven't had a chance to catch up with Jules but will see him tomorrow morning and let him know where we are at.
More soon,
Jo
