New Year's Eve-day

I just posted my first response to a blog, it was related to Mae West and items published by Earl H. Emmons at his Maverick Press, and thought why not end the year with a new tradition and also make a resolution at the same time. So here it is the new tradition, writing about items that: I have in my store; find at sales; or people bring to me. The resolution is that I write something at least twice weekly. I am notorious for not writing and keeping up with communications to friends, just check the last time I responded to anything on FB. Maybe I have also been inspired by the movie Julie/Julia or maybe this is an outgrowth of previous attempts to keep a journal related to my adventures in the book business or I am listening to the prodding of a local poet who has encouraged me to keep track of the comings and goings within my store. By the way, Earl Emmons produced several chapbook like publications related to Mae West, Bruce Rogers, Frank Goudy and etc., as well as, other ephemera in the mid to late 30's in New York. If I can figure out how to add images I will do so at a later time. Till... I hope everyone's New Year's Eve celebrations are safe and joyous.
