I've got my Trad Regency Winners all picked out.

Held up a few folks but many didn't mind-some even joined in the discussion!<BR/><BR/>He stopped coming by a few months before I left-do hope he's alright.

There you are with all the details of that man--his clothes, the unshaven patch, his buying and reading habits. I think it says more about you than him.

He couldn't see a darn thing, so I always had to go back there and help him pick out titles. He liked mysteries, westerns and some non-fiction. <BR/><BR/>He passed away a couple of years ago....Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12485867264936716806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13002022.post-1147795946976338632006-05-16T09:12:00.000-07:002006-05-16T09:12:00.000-07:00Fantastic post.

I choose to believe that if there is an afterlife it contains a great independent bookstore, where the teapot is always on, there is a great chair and eternity to catch up on your reading.

He sat there every day, walked around, made book recommendations to random people, talked to everyone... I always wondered if anyone told the staff he died. <BR/><BR/>What a sweet post...I'm a little teary eyed now.E is for Editrixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17646236311667423114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13002022.post-1147754914752419252006-05-15T21:48:00.000-07:002006-05-15T21:48:00.000-07:00What a lovely post.

Like you, I would like to think he is simply in another city, selecting his Traditional Regencies from another bookseller.Christine Fletcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17350760019997430843noreply@blogger.com
