As the Mighty Wulritzer descends into the pit to the strains of Bronislaw Kaper: An update.

I will be leaving town (D.V.) this Friday for the San Francisco Bay Area to scout the Larsen book fair and check in with various friends and colleagues. Between two days at the fair and three subsequent days of scouting, I hope to return to the shop in happy anticipation of cartons of new material. I will be staying with a colleague in Berkeley and anticipate that at the very least there shall be a certain amount of collegial gluttony.
