Whenever I have to go down to Worcester, MA, I make sure to take a visit to the Ben Franklin Bookstore which is a large independent bookstore and co-op. They have a wonderful selection, and Donald Reid, the owner, is awfully nice. I was down there this morning and had the opportunity to meet Nicholas Basbanes. He had stopped by to look for books on paper and paper-making – the topic of one of his new book endeavors. He told me he hopes it will be out in late ’08 or early ’09.
