We have enjoyed receiving advance payment-by-check for December releases by Susanna Sonnenberg and Perri Knize, because it has meant getting kind hand-written notes from all over the country. Thanks so much for sending these.
On another note, we had occasion to visit the new Missoula Hastings location (and Staples too) today, looking for nothing in particular. Hastings has a wonderful outdoor patio, facing south, and but for the out-gassing of new carpet and fixtures inside, is not that bad a store (in our opinion) for a chain store. So many magazines …. It is nice to see (more) signs of life — especially those two coffee shops — in the center of town! But mostly we think the outdoor patio is an inspired touch, and we like to see those kinds of things wherever they may occur.
