HOW DO YOU REMEMBER?
We were all of an age, though I more so, talking about how we remembered book lore. I argued for webs of proper nouns, especially names because they are more easily checked for misspellings, and connected by moving information. Reader … Continue reading
WHY READ?
The first fresh breeze of Fall is here today. The oak trees rustle heavily, the water ripples offshore (toward Harts Neck across the harbor), and the Queen Anne’s lace, past its prime but still willing, waves with the goldenrod. I … Continue reading
MORE BOOKS ADDED
This is the 5th batch of treasures added this summer! Some of these are reorders due to popular demand. (My only other copy sold.) Julia Spencer-Fleming’s series with the Vicar and the Police Chief is the best example. Some are … Continue reading

SUMMER HAS COME IN (and so has a webcam)
Roseledge Books is open. Summer has started, fleece hoodies and blankies over the knees on the porch during inaugural wine not withstanding. Fig. #21. The only Roseledge Books sign “before” Charlie fixed the winter stressed message on his way to … Continue reading
TYING UP THE “NOTS” EXPLAINED, MAYBE
“What’s up with Figure #20?” a friend asked. (Figure #20 is repeated below.) Fig. #20. This is not Maine, but Charlie lives within a camera’s eye of Mt. Rainier (Seattle), he takes a great picture, and he includes a little … Continue reading
