Portland author has collected his dream library of books – and most of them don’t exist; Portland Press Herald, June 20, 2025

 Skyler Cummings, Portland Press Herald ; Portland author has collected his dream library of books – and most of them don’t exist

Hemingway’s missing novel. Alice’s backwards-printed book in "Through the Looking Glass." Sylvia Plath’s never-finished autobiography. Reid Byers owns copies of all those "invisible" books that bibliophiles wish were real.

[Kip Currier: Portland Press Herald is another example of a newspaper with an iron-clad paywall that doesn't provide access to even one sentence from this article. Just the headlines. 

If you're trying to attract new readers and subscribers to a communication medium that's hemorrhaging people who see its value, you might want to offer a glimpse of what your product looks and sounds like.]
