The jamais vu papers

Description:

Did you ever get the feeling you’ve NEVER been here before? Once upon a time in Los Angeles, an addled psychiatrist named Hector Glasco was vainly trying to treat a jaded celebrity named Hilary, who suffered from a chronic and perhaps potentially fatal case of déjà vu—that condition, of course, in which one has the weirdest feeling that one has been here before. First published by Harmony Books/Crown in 1991, *[The Jamais Vu Papers][1]* built a solid following over the years. Eventually, the shortage of recirculating copies drove prices so high that it was clearly time for a new edition. So here again is *The Jamais Vu Papers*—the entire original book plus a bonus tale and some words about the origins of the whole idea. [1]: http://www.playsonideas.com/book_Jamais_Vu_Papers.html
