Pullman, The Golden Compass 1st American
For a mere $3 today I got a 1st printing of the 1st American
edition of Philip Pullman's The Golden Compass (Knopf 1996), fine in fine condition. I think the most important thing in book collecting (outside of gaining the requisite knowledge of books) is hunting every day. And fortunately for me, Connecticut is the Happy Hunting Grounds. With all the Goodwill stores, Savers, library book sales, second hand stores, and tag sales, there is always somewhere to look all the time. -- Francis A. Miniter In dem Lande der Pygmäen gibt es keine Uniformen, weder Abzeichen, noch irgend welche Normen, Und Soldaten sind dort nicht zu sehen. Siegfried von Vegesack, "Es gibt keine Uniformen" from In dem Lande der Pygmäen |

I can't remember who it was who said that a great children's novel is really intended for adults. -- Francis A.

I have been rather lax this year, because I am kind-of preoccupied with moving--a large part of which is building and finding shelves for books and sorting the books that need to be spliced into the books that are currently shelved. EEEK! -- Jean B. |
