Finally, the last of the order lists.\u00a0 To make it more intriguing, look for fat biographies, detailed memoirs, journals, logs, or diaries of adventurers in places doing things we know too little about, at least four works with (sometimes remote) ties to Tenants Harbor, more beach, shore, or sea-going works–some with romance or suspense added, books mentioned in earlier blogs,\u00a0 more Maine books, and, for Roseledge Books Regulars, some re-orders which suggest Roseledge Books may have the beginnings of a canon.<\/p>\n

Fig. #55. This is Roseledge Books if you come downhill. The only sign is hanging from the front porch bench behind the rose bush which means you'll only know you're here if you look up the front walk or if you recognize a good time from an earlier visit or from this post. Come soon, get happy, and bring sunshine into this rainy June. <\/p><\/div>\n

Finally, the lists are done.\u00a0 Now the fun is in discovering paperback treasures already on the shelves and getting cheaper and yellower and harder to find each year they go\u00a0 unpurchased.\u00a0 It’s also fun to find the elusive tie to Tenants Harbor.\u00a0 I\u00a0 may start with a biography of Teddy Roosevelt to see if he loves North Dakota as I do (possible if tenuous tie) or if he visited with my late neighbor Harry when he visited his aunt who, Harry said, lived next to TR.\u00a0 So many puzzles, so little time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
