Email. I got it from Dale's original post in which he published an email he had gotten from the Spillane people.AaronMalcomb wrote:What method of communication do Spillane's people use, Bloomfield? Email? Telegraph? Rustling oak leaves?
What method of payment? Money order? Bank draft? Gold bouilion (sp?) transferred to a Swiss bank account? Did Amar help?
Cheers,
Aaron
