Dear Michael,

then you might perhaps be interested in the correspondence between Benjamin and 
Adorno (edited by Henri Lonitz, Frankfurt 1994). It provides very interesting 
insights into both authors� "work in progress", their mutual inspirations and - 
of course - their disparate biographical backgrounds. I do not know if there 
exists an english translation.

And now something different: Since you are a book shop coordinator you might 
perhaps have an idea where I can find the following title I am searching for a 
long time: Mira Komarovsky, The Unemployed Man and his Family, New York 1940 
(only first edition). I would be grateful for any information about this book.

Best wishes

Joachim
