Here I sit, behind the counter at the Kingston Bookery (between customers). I’m thinking about writing a post (well, I actually AM writing one), but am concerned about the inability of readers of thi...
Consider “Generosity” 16 Aug 2013 | 01:37 am
From time to time I like to “wax rhetorical”, especially in the areas of psychology and philosophy. As a writer I find it both useful and entertaining to look at behavior, especially as it relates to...
Overwhelmed by Books 10 Aug 2013 | 02:22 am
Wouldn’t you think that working in a used book store would be an ideal “day job”? When I was given the opportunity to participate in the reincarnation of Mr. B’s Bookery as The Kingston Bookery I was ...
