Salutations!
Happy early March! I'm sending the newsletter a tad early, to let you
know about the two great events happening this Thursday, March 2nd. Faces
of Fashion is a fundraiser for Larchmere, and boasts a
much-anticipated fashion show of our area's great clothing, gems, and
other collectible artifacts. It's also the first Thursday of the
month, so the Annex Gallery has a grand opening reception, this time
featuring the block prints of Pamela Dodds. Read on for more news...

Book Signing
 Debbie
Alferio, A Forever Kind of Love
Saturday, March 25, 1-3pm
Dana Walker feels alone, and she distrusts men in general. Someone,
however, has been watching her from afar. Handsome, young Mitch
Tarrington is taken by Dana’s beauty, but not feeling she
could ever be interested in someone like himself, he tries hard to deny
his attraction to her. Fate has other ideas for the two, and a chance
meeting finds them falling in love at first sight. Soon Mitch and Dana
are planning their wedding, but will a major misunderstanding fueled by
desire and jealousy keep the nuptials from ever taking place?
Stump
the Bookseller Selection of the month
 G306: Good
King Awkward
The title is GOOD KING AWKWARD but I've never been able to find it
anywhere. This is a pop-up book, published sometime in the late
60s/early 70s, about a King who wants to learn magic. The opening
lines are, "Good King Awkward from the magic land of Nix/Had a powerful
ambition to be good at magic tricks./But although he practiced magic
day and night without a stop,/Every trick he did in public was a
failure and a flop." I will be the hero to my entire family if I can
find this.

Books and Authors

has exploded and changed over fifty years, and about the famous and
quirky people Richard has met, all in Richard's own
inimitable style. $3 (free for NOBS members).
Annex Gallery
 Pamela Dodds: Block Prints
Opening Reception: Thurday, March 2, 6-8pm
Show: March 2--April 3
Pamela Dodds will exhibit two series of block prints, including her
LoveDance Series. The smooth, grainless linoleum texture allows for
the cutting of a fluid, detailed line. The images depict the inherent
struggles of an intimate relationship as a passionate duet. The
Opening Reception coincides with the Faces of Fashion event:
if you're
a friend of Pamela's, just let us know at the door.
Coming Soon...
 Edible
Books Festival
Saturday, April 1, 1pm
It's a contest. It's a festival. It's an exhibition. It's a feast.
It's a ton of fun.
The only rule: create edible art that has something to do with books.
What good books are you baking?
I hope to see you browsing at Loganberry soon!
peace,
Harriett
