It's the game in which you the customer presents a book seller with a mystery of matching you up with the right book, based on memory and clues.

Thats the name this pod-cast that was posted on Jan. 9, 2007. And it brings up some really good points. Some of which that can have far reaching effects, even outside of the publishing industry.

Books can be used to help move a country in a particular way. Whether its banning them or making sure that they say a specific thing. Then today just because I was thinking about it, when my friend received a book from his brother as a Christmas present about his hometown area in Texas the 2004 Christmas snow. I decided to write about local books.]]> Articles derstaffo 2006-12-13T14:55:02-05:00 http://www.lughnassadhbooks.com/archives/2006/12/q_i_have_this_p.html Can you help me, I have this publication?

Although I'm sure I'll be doing something between Thanksgiving and Christmas. So watch for it. News derstaffo 2006-11-14T14:21:08-05:00 http://www.lughnassadhbooks.com/archives/2006/11/latest_word_in.html The latest is that I have been denyed the state grant money from the NYS Department of Labor's Individual and Family Flood Grant. Now I get the pleasure of going through their appeals system. More paperwork and longer to wait to see what I can do to rebuild.

The furnace came in, I even helped get it into the basement and set in place. Thought we were in for a nice treat, namely heat.... The trick was that somewhere between the manufacturer and us is the flange for the duct work and a water heating coil. So its the ultimate tease, a furnace that we can't use yet.

Workmen are scheduled to be here today, to install the new furnace that is also to be delivered today. So this will be the ultimate treat and I'll be warm...

And its hard to think about anything when your cold. Or at least I find it hard to think about anything that isn't about how cold I am. And the fun dosn't stop there. The past three months I've been filling out paperwork and doing what I have to to quilify for the NYS grants for flood victoms. And I can't say that it was fun doing so.
