Annex Gallery
 Dede Moore
The Return of the Flying Carpets
Thursday, November 2, 5-8pm
Long-time dealer and expert in Oriental Rugs,
Dede Moore returns to
the Annex Gallery with a treasure trove of woven art and Turkish
treats. Dede has a knack
for turning any space into a rich and colorful delight; her Gallery
show last year was noted as a fantasical journey to another world.
Come experience the magic, and take a piece home with you. Or perhaps
the magic carpets will offer you a ride? The Cleveland Rug Society
will have a meeting here too, on November 12th (ask for more info).
Dede's show continues through
December 4.
Game Night
 Thursday,
November
9, 7pm
Our appreciation for dominoes continues here. If you haven't learned
the
game Mexican Train yet, perhaps it's time to learn? Don't worry; it's
not horribly complicated. But it's a good game, so come join us...

Reflections
on assembling a book
Thursday, November 16, 7pm
Join us for a conversation with Cleveland
collector and
international bibliophile Robert Jackson as he shares stories about
assembling his latest book, Book Talk. Following in the
tradition of John Carter, Graham Pollard, and Michael Sadlier, Book
Talk: Essays on Books, Booksellers, Collecting and Special Collections
takes the reader on a tour of some major ideas and controversies now
current in the rare book world. Robert Jackson has assembled these
writings of an eminent group of scholors, publishers, librarians,
booksellers, and collectors that address issues facing contemporary
society. Topics such as the future of the book in a printed-format, the
internet and collecting trends are some of the issues discussed. This
important work belongs on the reading list of all book lovers. Book
signing to follow the lecture.
Author bio: Robert Jackson is a senior partner at Kohrman
Jackson & Krantz P.L.L., Cleveland, Ohio, and is a noted speaker
and writer of and about rare books, literature and travel. Recently
he traveled to Greenland on a film trip to record the life of Rockwell
Kent. His article about Kent will appear shortly in Fine Books and
Collections. A member of the Rofant Club, Mr. Jackson is involved
as trustee or officer of many

Stump
the Bookseller Selection of the month
 F253: Farmer flies into
clouds to make them rain
My father remembers a favorite book from his childhood that I hope
to find for him. It was part of a mobile library when he was in grade
school (1950-1956). I only know the plot which is as follows: A young
boy (who I believe lives on the farm) watches the farmer (possibly the
boy's father)tend to his crops. His crops need to be watered and it
has not rained in a while. So the farmer flies his plane over the
fields that need rain...cutting holes in the clouds. The boy goes out
to the field after and discovers raindrops on the fences that have been
cut. Instead of being tear shaped the cut raindrops have a flat edge.
I hope to see you browsing at Loganberry soon!
peace,
Harriett
