¶ Sharon Malinowski: "Black Writers. A Selection of Sketches from Contemporary Authors", Farmington Hills: Gale Research 1994*, S. 315, enthält die Privatadresse der Gründer*innen von Just Us Books, Inc. im Jahr 1988, Wade Hudson und Cheryl Willis Hudson. Diese Adresse kommt auch - Jahrzehnte früher - in einem Brief Kurt Wagenseils vom 24. Nov. 1947 vor, in dem er Henry Miller darum bittet, sein Buch "Into the Night Life" zur Übermittlung an eine dritte Person zu senden - "to my friend, the Countess Anita Einsiedel, 202, Dodd Street, East Orange, N.J., who would also take care to bring it over to Europe". In der Zwischenzeit dieser beiden Ereignisse hatte allerdings auch bereits 1972 "Escobar Enterprises" unter der Adresse "New Space age Astro Shield polish" für Autos angeboten (Magazin "Popular Mechanics", Band 138, Nr. 5, Nov. 1972, S. 215). Im Haus 362 Dodd Street ist die Sängerin Whitney Houston aufgewachsen.

¶ Sharon Malinowski: "Black Writers. A Selection of Sketches from Contemporary Authors", Farmington Hills: Gale Research 1994*, p. 315, contains the home address of the founders of Just Us Books, Inc. in 1988, Wade Hudson and Cheryl Willis Hudson. This address also appears - decades earlier - in a letter from Kurt Wagenseil dated Nov. 24, 1947, in which he asks Henry Miller to send his book "Into the Night Life" to a third person - "to my friend, the Countess Anita Einsiedel, 202, Dodd Street, East Orange, N.J., who would also take care to bring it over to Europe". In the meantime of these two events, however, "Escobar Enterprises" had already offered "New Space age Astro Shield polish" for cars in 1972 (magazine "Popular Mechanics", Vol. 138, No. 5, Nov. 1972, p. 215). The singer Whitney Houston grew up in the house at 362 Dodd Street.
