Re: Favorite Books of Childhood

[Deborah Wells-Clinton <dwclinton@GLASNET.RU>]

My husband wanted to know why I kept exclaiming this morning as I read my
weekend email, and he was amused when he heard that I was reacting to the
titles of old favorites, some of which I had almost forgotten.

I appreciated hearing about Australian favorites.  Have any Brits chimed in
here (spelling it "favourites", of course)?

Also, I agree with Earl's recent comment:

"In all my libraries, I ensure that part of the annual order includes titles
that are on the shelves but which even I wouldn't touch with the proverbial
"ten-foot pole."  Take a hint from your local bookstores which are using
marketing strategies to promote their products."

I do this too, and it's one way to help those oldies get off the shelves --
by making sure our copies look attractive.
