#RIPGarth ... I was a big fan of The Band, so it was a joy to meet Garth Hudson when he sat in at a Jo-El Sonnier performance at L.A.’s Club Lingerie in the late 80's. He was a prince of a guy and a great storyteller. Garth, the last surviving original member of The Band, died today at age 87.

We just unpacked a nice selection of classics by the Russian greats –– Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Chekhov and Pushkin … plus a 2-volume edition of Boris Pasternak’s DOCTOR ZHIVAGO, which was the basis for the epic historical romance film. All volumes are bound in high-quality leather.

We created this Christmas gesture to Field of Dreams with a little help from OpenAI ChatGPT. The Field of Dreams movie was inspired by W. P. Kinsella's 1980 novel, SHOELESS JOE.

First, they came for librarians. Now, the #Texas State Legislature is coming for booksellers with Senate Bill SB 88. So, if a 17-year-old wanders into our art section and looks at a book containing a nude photograph/painting, we could be prosecuted. #bannedbooks #bookstore #bookstores #censorship
