I wanted to let you know that the Lehár autograph quotation arrived safe and sound having made its transatlantic journey without any problems. It’s a beautiful thing, and I can’t wait to get it up on the wall. I’m absolutely delighted with it – thank you!
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.
