Fall shows, new additions and news...

We hope you had a wonderful summer and that, in the midst of the
current turmoil, we hope that your fall is off to a colorful start. In
the midst of these turbulent times, we are comforted by the knowledge
that books on the shelf have intrinsic value that dollars stuffed in a
mattress can never provide.

It has been a remarkable New Year. By St. Patrick's Day, we had
attended five book fairs (three in or around New York, San Francisco
and St. Petersburg, FL)...a wild schedule for us. In the next two
weeks, we will do shows in New York and Boston (see below). It has
been fun...tiring and slightly crazed...but fun.
