In all things tome-related . . . I began reading one of my recent acquisitions from Archipelago Books, Gerard de Nerval's "Les faux saulniers", roughly 2 days ago. It is something of a farcical adventure, a mad search for a book everyone seems to think exists but no one can find, about a man that seems to have existed in the public records but no

I bought it direct from the publishers, Archipelago Books. Apparently it's not even available in French as a separate text, it's buried in his Oeuvres completes; the English translation is very good. It's my first encounter with Nerval, and I think I need to encounter him again.
