New Folio Books
Reading Room July 8th. 2008, 10:21pmI received a few new Folio editions recently. The latest in the Poets series is Shelley and it is a beautiful volume. It has 64 of his more popular works and includes both short and longer pieces. The fonts are large and easy to read. The format is 7.5″ x 11.25″. The only criticism I can make is the selection of poems could be greater, but the editors have to draw the line somewhere. I also got Homage to Catalonia by George Orwell. An account of his experiences during the Spanish Civil War. Robinson Crusoe is another exquisite Folio book. The Folio Society has spoiled me when it comes to buying books. Once you go Folio, it’s very hard to go back to plain hardbacks with loose, ugly dust jackets. Check out their great intoductory offers: www.foliosociety.com

Shannon, what a fun picture! You look adbolrae. I’m so glad you’ve had amazing friends in London, especially to help you with your struggles with your kids. You look so happy and I’m glad for you for the times you can get out and just have fun. Looking forward to having you back in the states. I’d LOVE to see you sometime soon… Ann
