From: Bill Kane <BillK_at_alibris.com>
Please join us for a lively and informative discussion led by the intrepid
Jack Walsdorf, who will kick things off with his talk entitled "My Life
with Books."
Jack Walsdorf, lifelong collector and bookseller, and bona fide Arts and
Crafts aficionado has, over time, become a consummate book scholar, having
published more than a dozen books. He will regale us with stories of the
chase, the discovery, and even the occasional big catch, highlighting brief
encounters with the likes of J.R.R. Tolkien, Larry McMurtry, Willie Morris,
and others.
DATE: Monday, June 25, 2007
TIME: 10:30 am (civilized) - 12:00 noon (ish)
WHERE: HYATT (Grand Hyatt Washington), Constitution E
A brief business meeting will follow the discussion, during which an
incoming Chair of the OPDG will be solicited (and, ideally, anointed).
Here's hoping your ALA schedule permits.
Regards,
--Bill
