#currentlyreading A THREAD ACROSS THE OCEAN by John Steele Gordon.
The East Guilford birthplace of Cyrus Fields’ father made me smile. I live in Guilford, and Madison is a town known for its “new wealth.” When Madisonites get too uppity, the joke goes, remind them that they live East Guilford.

From last week’s Bloomsday celebration at @guilfordfreelibrary. On my plate: two types of soda bread slathered with butter, a very gingery ginger cookie, and grapes. They were all made tastier by the talented actors who read from Ulysses while I chowed down. 😋

Are you on LibraryThing? They have a nifty classification view that you can see on each book and how people have classified the book (image here is for Pym's Excellent Women). There can be variations between each cataloger, but hopefully whatever library you use is consistent with their approach.

Found the photo I took of the bookplate in 2019 at the Book Barn. It was in a collection of Edna Ferber volumes. Do you mind sharing where you purchased the Canfield?
