Love “The Stack”. Good stuff, all. And the new blog looks fab-u, too!
Yes yes yes to The Stack. A fine beginning to the year. Like the new digs!
Did you love the Calvino? That book has one of my favorite opening chapters, ever!
@Michele
I’d read it before, years ago, and I read it this time for a class I was in. The first chapter is great, and I think the book is an incredible piece of art, but I didn’t enjoy reading it much this time around. Perhaps the shifting from one story to the next was simply too much for me. I actually thought that YOU was a better execution of a similar idea. That’s not to belittle the Calvino.
Hello,
I’ve got a number of old books (250+) that have been collected over the years and most are over 60 -70 years old. I’m getting ready to move and looking to sell them, if possible. What is the best avenue to pursue? Do they need to be appraised? I’d prefer to sell them in total. Are there companies or people out there that will buy them like that? Thanks, in advance, for any information that you can provide.
