Latest issue of Mal edicta

[RonButters at AOL.COM]

I suggest that anyone who wants to order #13 and #14 check the web site. 
There is an order form there. #14 is not yet listed on the order form. The cost 
for #13 is $20 PLUS $2 SHIPPING. Plus sales tax. Plus an additional charge for 
credit card orders.
