The hours of the daylight are already shrinking from those longest days of late June. The chatter through the house now is about the start of the school year and what supplies are needed, new headphones, special drawing pencils, new backpacks, and who knows ‘what else’. I hope that this school year will be easier for the children than the last year.
My thanks in advance to children, to their teachers and all of the parents, grandparents, and helpers for all they do to help all of the children everywhere with the learning lessons.
Plum Park Press has published two new books that we have reviewed in this issue. Bo Press has also published a new book to share the joys of the recently published press bibliography. Nina Mazzo gleans more tidbits from within the MBN. This month we revisited the Tamazunchale Press, reprinting an early review from Volume VII of The Microbibliophile, as well as some additional information for you. Press names and the origins are always interesting minutia for the bibliophile. Plenty to read and keep you interested when it is time to take a break from the summer heat, grab a cup of ‘tea’ and park yourself in your favorite chair.
We continue with another special review/synopsis of three books from the ‘Bradbury 100’ list for your enjoyment, Number 38, 43, and 80. The ‘100 List’ is an ongoing feature beginning in 2021 with the goal of enticing readers to submit their own review of a book of their choice. We will gladly accept your input and help, ‘our pencils are getting shorter all the time’. Remember that the whole list was included in the January 2021 issue of The Microbibliophile.
Let me again mention to you that we are moving to a digital publication distribution of The Microbibliophile beginning in 2022, which means no more printed copies. The annual subscription rate will be $25 for six issues, utilizing the same publication dates as we have today. very subscriber with an email address should have received a digital copy of the last issue of The Microbibliophile. If you did not, please contact me. Sometimes when an email, bounces, that notice may be lost in the vapor. I have included some notes within this issue about how you may, ‘print’ your digital copy of The Microbibliophile, if you so choose.
