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.
The book came and what a treasure, thank you! It was autographed on one of the early pages by the author, to the famous British writer Rebecca West. I like this author, James Milne, and am thrilled to have a book autographed by him, and to someone like Rebecca West, too! One never knows what one will find in an old book!
