- The publisher is Grove Press. Also, the book won a Pulitzer Prize, so
- you can probably find it in most public libraries.

- Just a note: Some of the things that I've said about Applied
- Philosophy and Philosophy Licenses may have been...well, not
- exactly false, but certainly misleading. I'd like to emphasize
- that "A Confederacy of Dunces" is a real book, that it did
- win a Pulitzer Prize, that it is one of the funniest books ever
- written, and that it is well worth reading.
