Just plain beautiful! Maybe that's what we should discuss in December rather than "favorites."

Oh, Dick, you have such an exciting list at DK Ink. Why should I even be surprised? As I wrote the recent messages, I began to muse over the reality that we have a Richard Jackson book slated for both October and November, and we don't even have the Just Plain Beautiful book The Empress of Elsewhere slated - yet!

Oh, well, we think in terms of what we want to accomplish around here at the CCBC. We never actually pay attention to whether or not we're dipping more deeply into one publisher's list than another's or even not even noticing some of the publishers' lists - for this purpose, that is.


Well, that's that. We're on the side of the books, I guess, bumbling along, hoping someone will notice all these amazing books and get them to children. Which reminds me that I'd better go home and get ready to be bright eyed and somewhat articulate on Wednesday morning for my monthly television attempt to get these amazing books to Anyone Out There. Thanks to the TV station's web-site, the books I discuss on TV have longer than a five-minute shelf life. Courage.

You can be forgiven Pride, yes, because you deserve to be proud. Not Plain Proud. Wondrously Proud....

Peace, Ginny


Ginny--I hope you'll discuss Theresa Nelson's THE EMPRESS OF ELSEWHERE
(with other titles, of course) under the category of "just plain beautiful." And I hope I can be trusted to be un-pushy but just plain proud. Dick Jackson
