Used books are cool
I went to the Scholar's Bookstore in downtown Peterborough today. Its the best organized used bookstore I have ever seen in my life. The guy who owns it must love owning a bookstore. Then again, who wouldn't love owning a bookstore?
I got the following two books for very low prices:
T.S. Eliot, Selected Poems
B. C. Southam, A Student's Guide to the Selected Poems of T. S. Eliot
The company that published these books, Faber & Faber, is a brilliant company. First, you get one of the best known poets of the 20th century to select what he believes to be his best and most representative poetry for a student collection. Then, you get an accomplished scholar to write an expositional study guide for every poem in the book. It's like a mini-course in Eliot in book form. Sweet. And I finally have a copy of the poem The Hollow Men.
Tonight I am teaching Junior High at my church, followed by some movie watching at Jerry's house, with him, Todd and some others. Tomorrow I work 12-4, then I'm getting together with Amber and Robbie. Sunday is Becky's Baptism at Ferndale and much writing of my William Blake essay.
I guess that's all for now.
Keep rocking and/or rolling.

And so yesterday I went to the public library and guess what book I signed out Collected Poems by T.S Eliot now that's just weird.
Cindy
oops Collected Poems of T.S. Eliot not by T.S. Eliot
Thanks for coming. I'm glad you finally got to meet Shane and Jun/David. They're old buddies.
