So curious to see the Holling's writing was so less polished in '35 than it was a decade later.Walter Giersbachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00372648392442347617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3582766337961278500.post-25227695364522370332014-06-19T09:10:18.607-07:002014-06-19T09:10:18.607-07:00Thanks for the nudge.

It's my labor of love and a tip of the hat to good people in Holling's hometown and at the museum there.Walt Giersbachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06326037798233835128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3582766337961278500.post-9634983128519818792014-06-18T00:34:00.222-07:002014-06-18T00:34:00.222-07:00Hello!

Several years ago, I was fortunate enough to be able to purchase a copy of that book on eBay. I would deeply appreciate it if sometime soon you could do a blog entry about "The Book of Cowboys," along with its predecessor, "The Book of Indians." Thanks and keep up the good work!Diapasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14865742753013513685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3582766337961278500.post-73070425792726056802014-05-18T12:39:37.284-07:002014-05-18T12:39:37.284-07:00So glad to hear it!

I just found a copy of "Little Black Sambo," and the dealer said it's rare because it's "racist" and Bill Cosby the actor is buying the copyright to ensure it will never be republished.Walter Giersbachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00372648392442347617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3582766337961278500.post-72148834542461585982014-04-29T21:53:46.481-07:002014-04-29T21:53:46.481-07:00Hi Walt.

They posted it to me in NZ and it arrived in perfect condition. This was the only book in the series that I have never seen here in NZ.Harmen Hielkemahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17685933562845390237noreply@blogger.com
