Re: George Kampis

Steve,

Did you email George? I would recommend you do that first. Sometimes, when a
book goes out of print, the publisher offers the author all the copies left
in the warehouse at a substantial discount so it's possible he has a box of
them tucked away. Give it a try.

George was someone my father spoke of and I may have actually met him, I
can't remember. He was at Tubingen for a while and one of my father's best
friends, Otto Rossler, was also there. One of the trips I made with my
father was to Tubingen, in 1987, I think. I don't know much about his work,
though.

Judith
PS: Tim; how would you say George's work/conclusions differ from my
father's?
