You know that book you read as a kid, that was really good, and had the dog with spots and a mystery and something about a cliff? It had a mostly red cover and line drawings... you clearly remember one picture of a man breaking ground with a shovel. Great book.
Now you can find it again! For only two american dollars, you can post your shamelessly vague and inaccurate recollection at http://www.logan.com/loganberry/stump.html and let the collective wisdom of the internet try to remember it with you! (It's run by a used bookseller, who also researches requests.)
The memory headers that people put on their requests are just great. I'm particularly fond of
"geese that come out of barnacles"
"evil antique store"
"flying humanoid creatures licking mud sculptures??"
You can also write in (for free) to offer suggested solutions. I've been reading for half an hour from sheer amusement value, though. It's crawling around through the heads of people's childhoods, which is fascinatingly, terrifyingly intimate, even at this anonymous distance.
