It's always a great day to spend at the Best Richardson African Diaspora Literature & Culture Museum.
When you come to St. Augustine, FL, please stop in, meet Gigi and Skip, and support them in their important work.

I picked up the new books by @ericlarocca.bsky.social and @agustinabazterrica.bsky.social, which look very handsome together.

I completed my Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser collection.
Also, I really like finding ex-library books.

Moultrie Church & Wildwood Cemetery in St. Augustine, FL. There's a big wood behind it. Inside (it's always open) is an ancient and beautifully out-of-tune piano.

Found this today. 1951 printing with cover illustration by Rodney Matthew.
When can we make book covers wild again?

Another day, another load of books. I finally have a proper library, a whole room, bookshelves ceiling-to-floor. Almost all I ever wanted in this life.
