I get a lot of books in the mail. I am running out of space in my office and my apartment. Running out. We ran out years ago and should have moved. But that’s another story. I also don’t have nearly enough time to read them all. I thank you all for sending them to me. But here’s a new way to get your books on the blog: if I think your book sounds interesting (and I often do) I will ask you to write a short blurb called Why I Wrote This Book.

Oh yeah. The Strand. An old friend of mine works there. Louise
About your book clutter: Thomas de Quincey,the 19th century writer and opium eater, made his living by reviewing books for London magazines. When the review copies came to fill his apartment, he took his wife and kids–but not the books–and moved. No Strand bookshop in those days.
