Things Found in Books, No. 4 (I think)
The copy of Jim Harrison's
Farmer I bought at a used bookstore contained this postcard (front and back shown).
So, my real question is, what are the other
two "staggering BKS in recent years"?
(The Birchbark Bookstore outside of Parishville, where I find most of my used books, is a bizarre place that could only be located in the North Country. Ten miles from any subtantial town, and only open 30 hours a week, the renovated barn hosts something like 50,000 books and a knowledgable and friendly staff. Cool to the extreme.) (Even better, Tim Strong, the owner, is a gifted and distinctive woodworker; he's currently doing a set of bookshelves for us, fronted in birchbark.)
