THE DAILY MUSE....

When you send someone an older book that is a bit worn...they are never really happy with it. There is always that sense that approval is limited...a bit of a disappointment really. Why bother with less than perfect books... Or maybe they just expect too much from a book that is 30 years old and long out of print. Any copy should be welcome...unless of course a new copy is available.

Birding is a popular topic...and Audubon biographies should never be passed on...

Asian religions and martial arts are worth having...

Books on pop culture...from the '60's onward are always sought...Hoody Doody and Rocky and Bullwinkle...sure tosell...and this pop stuff should be bought when available.

Sold a book on voice training to Australia today... The Aussies still have that Anglican choral tradtion like the UK... It's totally absent in the US outside of Utah and the Mormons...but then they are directly tied to the older American English stock that has been lost as an intact culture nationally....but still shows up in vestiges in Utah.
