THE EIGHTH LITERARY WONDER OF THE WORLD

If Denise Hamilton (“One Thing Leads to Another,” Book Review, Sept. 26) can locate an eighth volume of Proust’s “Remembrance,” I would be anxious to pay a handsome price for it!

Editor’s note: While there are indeed seven novels in Proust’s “Remembrance of Things Past,” the number of physical volumes in the set varies according to edition, from as few as two to as many as eight. The third novel of the series, “Guermantes,” is in at least one edition broken into two volumes. No doubt this is the edition we were thinking of. (OK, we goofed.)
