I just finished reading about the store and your family in Nick Basbanes newest book, Patience & Fortitude. I had previously read an article in Book magazine. I wished that I lived near so I could visit your store, it looks and sounds like a place I dream of getting lost in. Basbanes book mentioned that your father began a memoir but was, sadly, unable to finish the work. Would it be in anyway possible to read what must be a great historical adventure in bookselling? I wish you all continued success and a very long existence.
Just a quick thank you note. The Great Upheaval was tenderly packed. I can tell you love your profession as much as I love books. I'm reading it right now and enjoying the quiet of a new snow in New Mexico. Thanks, again!
