Treats in the mail

Nov 13, 2006 16:41

Some writing done this afternoon, interspersed with reading and snoozing. The mail brought two treats: Trial of Flowers by one jaylake of our acquaintance—what a gorgeous treatment Nightshade gave this book; looking forward to reading it—and The Standard Catalogue of Hard Times Tokens 1832-1844 by Russell Rulau, 2001 edition, said edition being the most recent. I am surely the only person in my social circle interested in this volume.

Just because such things are entertaining and worthy of note, jaylake posted pictures of our discovery of "Trial" at University Bookstore. See the author and his baby, see the unsuspecting public's reaction.

This evening, I'll be attending a reception at the Museum of History and Industry with oldmangrumpus, which should be pleasant. MOHAI's a cool museum and doesn't get nearly enough press given its coverage of Seattle history; it's really quite good and well worth a visit.
