I saw CNN student news on the other day and impressed how you ladies doing at the bookstore. I am Japanese woman and we value and treasure ancient things. Plus I am a genuine bookworm who prefer printed volumes than electric gadget. So I wanted to say it was a great interview and wonderful to know that there are someone who try to preserve old things rather than sell them and go to Carribean or wherever to swing in hammock. Hope I can visit you someday. Love and respect,
I couldn't believe how fast you sent me this wonderful item! I didn't expect it to have anything on children's cookery (my focus), but because Juliet Corson is SO important, I bought it. What a surprise to find a "Boys' and Girls' Kitchen" column, and a tiny personal fact about J's childhood. I hit the lottery, so to speak. I'm ordering tons of diamonds to fall from the sky on you some lovely warm day. Don't I wish I could do that...
