ORIGINAL: MaamJay I think the spelling is Anais Nin ... Maam Jay aka violet[A] I am going to say sorry in advance... I am about to steal the thread... Yes, You are right about the spelling. I just pulled out one of the books and checked for myself. Her website is www.anaisnin.com there is also http://kirjasto.sci.fi/anaisnin.htm and there is www.anais-nin.de the last site has a great bio of her. Amazon has a couple of her books... her diaries, Delta of Venus and Little Birds. She has a great book called 'House of Incest', but that one is banned in most places. Both Delta of Venus and Little Birds were banned in the US until late 1970's, (at that time, the rights were sold to an American publishing house ~ Harcourt, before that she was with Pocket Books, out of the UK) and they are still banned in some countries. (Also,,, I believe that there are 'blue laws' in some states/cities/counties that would make owning them a crime) My copies of these books are first edition copies from the 70's (Pocket Books Editions) (not the reprint that happened the late 90's and early 2000's) yes, I have 'contraband' copies, (meaning that they were printed during the time period that they were banned.) I am not sure if you could find Orginal copies anymore, Pocket Books was bought out by Simon and Schuster, but Amazon has some awesome reprints... here is the link for that.. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_b/102-3153170-6508154?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=anais+nin Okay... can you tell that I am a huge fan of hers?? I hope that this helps... and I am very sorry about stealling the thread... 1st girl Phoenix
