Plans are underway to begin work on the second volume, but we do need to sell more of the first book before this can happen. Our inventory of used books for sale is dependent on donations and we greatly appreciate the generosity of our donors. However, regretfully, we find it necessary to reject books that have been stored in damp garages, basements, sheds, etc., and have been subject to mildew. Mildew is a fungus and a living organism that can spread and infect the newer books. It is best to store your books in warm, dry places.
Attics are good, as are some closets.
We are delighted to have two new volunteers who will soon join Elaine and me in the library sales room. Do come by and meet them. The Friends are sponsoring a day trip to the Huntington Library on Wednesday, May 23, 2001. There is a sign-up sheet in the Library and all reservations must be paid for by April 15th. Many art treasurers, including Gainsborough's Blue Boy , Lawrence's Pinkie, The Gutenberg Bible .
