I BET you a paperback that you won't read the Bros K. <BR/>[Does that change the world, now?] <BR/><BR/>Speaking of to-do books, have you read A PASSAGE TO INDIA yet?<BR/><BR/>Take care, Miss C, and fly safe.<BR/><BR/>[Does this count as a posting that gets me a postcard?

I bring the classics to people who otherwise would not have the ability or interest in purchasing overpriced versions of the classics published by Penguin, Modern Library, or Everyman. Let's fact it, by setting the price of my books at such a reasonable and modest price, I'm helping to introduce a new group of people to the classics. Why spend $10 on something that you might not like when you can try it out for $5?<BR/><BR/>These classics might be available in the library, but given the budget cut-backs all over the United States, libraries have less money for books and are open fewer hours each week. You can support the Queens Borough Public Library by going to this link and clicking on "Donate:" http://www.queenslibrary.org/qlf/index.asp<BR/><BR/>I realize that as a visionary, I am bound to be misunderstood and unappreciated. You could, however, at least acknowledge that by making the purchase of books more affordable, I am getting more people interested in books and reading. <BR/><BR/>In any event, even if there were hypothetically instructions from me to my lackeys to foist "cheap B&N books" upon the masses, I note that it can't be all that bad. I, after all, did create Barnsey, the Noble Bear. If you're not going to buy at book at one of my stores, you can buy yourself or a loved one Barnsey.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
