Carissa Nelson asked John Marco:

Hi John! I am writing to ask about your book The eyes of God. I am trying to find a new copy, not used to send to my son who is currently incarcerated and he is a big fan. Amazon is the only way I can send him books, or Barnes and Noble, but they require them to be new. The copies I see on Amazon of this on are used. I see that this book came out in 1970, but is there anyway to get a new copy through Amazon? Thanks!

John Marco Hi Carissa. Thanks for the question. It's frustrating to hear that they're making it hard for you to send a book to your son! The book actually came out around 2000, and there are lots of used copies of it out there, which can be gotten from ebay or even amazon. I just checked Amazon, though, and it says you can still buy new mass market paperbacks of Eyes of God, though the price is ludicrous--like 13 bucks. Unfortunately, I don't have any copies left to send to you. Please, though, do extend my best wishes to your son. I'm grateful to know that he's a fan of my work.
