A lover of libraries of all kinds. Talking about books on WCAI is a joy. Once a librarian, always a librarian.

I'm delighted to announce that we've now sold over 100 sets of the new US edition of Dorothy Richardson's Pilgrimage. And I hope it's a special sign that the 100th set was purchased by none other than the superb writer Carmen Maria Machado.

Quite astonishing that a blog I wrote a very long time ago for the Falmouth Public Library about a bogus F. Scott Fitzgerald quotation is still being read! Never did get Eric Roth to respond!

Thoreau, Oct. 20, 1855. I find, here and there on the hill, apples, sometimes three or four, carried to the mouth of a striped squirrel's hole, 4 or 5 rods from the tree, with the marks of his teeth in them, by which he carried them, and the chankings or else fragments of the skin of others there.
