Hi Cindi – just seeing your comment, so apologies for the delay! – I would think if you contacted Kelly directly at the Facebook page for the event she could send you a poster-sized jpeg… hope she can help you; I only copied it from the facebook page, so it will not be big enough for your purposes…

Thanks for stopping by!

Is it possible to get a JPEG of this artwork to make a poster? I’d love to put it up in my bookstore and add it to my website, etc.? Thank you to Kelly for starting this~wonderful promotion!

Rather than one day of the year, why not make it 365/6 days of the year?

Wow, if this was in my area I would go this weekend to see it. Or I guess on Friday since it doesn’t appear to be open durning the weekend.

Hello Rob – thanks for commenting! I see on your site that Lincoln died on the 15th as well – I completely missed that one! Your site looks great – so much of interest every day…

Hello Priscilla! pardon delay in responding – life gets in the way of blogging and have not done much here these past few months, nor on my other blog [ http://janeausteninvermont.wordpress.com ]. Very funny about your name – Priscilla was a great a lady and started the shop with 4 other friends – I bought it from them years ago – and yes, we seem to have many mutual interests in books! can one ever have enough? Do you sell online through a particular site or on ebay? Another coincidence – we bought our dog [a apringer spaniel] from a women in East Greenwich RI about 5 years ago!
Thanks for visiting – always glad to make a new book friend!
Best,
Deb

After coming across your website this afternoon, I just had to drop you a line! First of all, you can imagine my surprise when I saw the name of one of your shop owners!

I am a bibliophile–a delighted victim of The Gentle Madness (as described by Nicholas Basbanes)! Although I don’t sell books (except a few each week online), I do have a home library of some 9,000 volumes, half of which are children’s books. My single largest adult collection is Great Britain (approximately 700 books) and much smaller categories include women’s literature, domestic arts, women’s history and studies, and gardening! Quite the coincidences, don’t you think?! (My other large categories are vintage travelogues, vintage novels, the Holocaust, Russian decorative arts, World War II (especially the home front), and art and architecture.)

I’m so sorry your shop is no longer operational, but I’m very pleased to make the acquaintance of new book friends. I look forward to reading your past blogs and postings. The next time we’re traveling up Rt. 7, I’ll be sure to drop into the Champlain Antique Center–it’s not a place I’m familiar with although I used to frequent Kenney Bros.
