This is just the kind of intelligence a good dinner party guest needs to have at her disposal...
“Jessica Kerwin Jenkins’ Encyclopedia of the Exquisite is a beautifully researched and written book. Every story — whether on the origins of badminton or the art of Renaissance sotleties — is fascinating and inspiring. I kept turning the page, wanting to learn more.”

Love the image of the "rip heard round the beach." So appropriate. I love and lug my books from house to house.
ReplyDeleteoh this sounds fascinating! I know the problem with moving though -too many books -too little time!

ReplyDeleteI added it to my Amazon wish list as soon as I read Tory mention it in T&C
ReplyDeleteDear Ms Von SummersVerb,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your kind endorsement. I'm thrilled to know that the book is making its way into the right hands. And I'm very happy to come across your fantastic blog.
Here's hoping that your summer never ends,

At the risk of sounding like another lemming, I added this to my wish list as soon as I read about it in T&C.
ReplyDeleteLemmings are good, yes?
Allie,
ReplyDeleteI know that you are busy and all but I am still inspired by your closet organizational skills. When do you turn over your closet? And can you describe your process? I'd like to think that someday I will find myself as orderly as you.
Thanks in advance,
Bashful
Bashful, just type "No Hoarding Allowed" into the search box of my blog to pull up my closet post. And, in case I don't mention it within the post, my "process" is ruthlessness...XXOO
ReplyDeleteI am adding this book to the Library too.
