Happy 1st Birthday!Books and Biblios Turns "One" this weekend! After one year, we're still going strong with some 80 articles or other presentations made in the first year. We hope to continue with guest writers and reporters, but also with some new video presentations. Last year we started with some discoursing on book neologisms and finding books on the street in Hyde Park. Just this week, as I was walking in the newly arrived 85-degree heat and humidity, I stumbled on my first finds of the season: a pile of books around the corner from my house. And yes, yes, I picked up a couple--just two, really! One of them was a book by Mikhail Gorbachev. A nice little historical perspective of Perestroika. But the season is just beginning, and there shall be more tales to tell soon enough! So thanks for sticking with us for the first year, and I promise many more good things to come! Hopefully, then, we can weather the years as well as our good friend Samuel Johnson, pictured above in his famed dictionary. Though, perhaps we'll fare a tad better than his yellowing book!
Congratulations to ON BOOKS AND BIBLIO!!!

ReplyDeleteHow about a post featuring a good children's book / story? They're my favorite, even as an adult.
