NOTICE!

For some reason I can add sidebars, but not new posts. Please check back later. I have been working on a variety of things including switching my blog soon from this one, which was set up with my now-defunct West Wisconsin Telcom account. I hope to have my new blog through Gmail up soon. I will provide a link and announcement when I've got everything straight. 7/2/11

Bas Bleu: a reader’s dream


We are book addicts. Between the three of us, we support local chain bookstores like the Borders in Eau Claire and the Barnes & Noble in Woodbury. We also shop at our local independent bookseller, Bookends in Menomonie. We buy books through the Internet—Amazon in particular. And, not least, we buy from catalogs such as Daedalus Books. One of our long time favorite catalogs is Bas Bleu. This book seller bills itself as the champion of odd little books. We have discovered so many wonderful reads through their selections and recommendations. For example, one of my recent finds through Bas Bleu is Beverley Nichols’ delightful gardening books (more about him later in his own posting). To check out Bas Bleu and to request your own catalog, see http://www.basbleu.com/
