Keep up the fire's of thought,
and all will go well... You fail in your thoughts or
you prevail in your thoughts alone.
-Henry David Thoreau



There never shall be one lost good.
All we have willed or hoped or dreamed
of good
shall exist.
-Robert Browning

Wow, I mean, what can you say on top of that?


Other than to say, we still have books for sale at the store - if you haven't made it in yet, you can do so six days a week, except today (Monday) , when I am closed and actually have some time to blog. Lots of new arrivals, lots of stuff I took in in trade over the past few months and finally have shelf space to put stuff on. By the way, shameless plug here, but I am low on shelving, as those of you who have been in the store can tell. I need bookcases like nobody's business and search for sturdy, gently-used units on a daily basis. I actually recently acquired a handmade, Naugahyde-paneled Bookcase, but still need a whole aisle full of them. If you see any or know of any, please let me know! Thanks in advance.

Oh, kind of big news, I am starting a new service at the store and that is an enhanced search for books you all are looking for. If you have listed your name or email with me and given me a title of a book you are looking for, I will be getting in contact with you over the next couple of weeks (I know, too late for Christmas, sorry, first-time business owner and all) about details. I will find the books you want!!

Goodbye, fellow Memphians and those from far-away places. I hope the 45 degree differences in temperature over 24 hour periods feel as much like a time-traveling experience for you as it does for me - "Oh, look, it's September again for a day, and in December! How fun!"

And by the way, please feel free to leave a comment. I would really like it if you did. A lot. Thanks!
