okay good book i love the old timey words

This is language and writing from a past era, one in which we thought differently about things, saw things that mattered, like "a lime-stained bench that had once been used to keep flowers....." We just don't have this romance in us any longer, I'm afraid, we're besieged by modern nonsensical parlance, text-speak, custodians of the English langauge who condone and perpetuate change in the language, and people who are in too much of a hurry to write beautiful words. This is a beautiful book, written with beautiful words. It deserves to be placed in a conspicuous place on our bookshelves, so that we never forget what is written in it. And the cover is a tribute to Laz's great understanding of the book. They complement one another.

Gorgeous writing. I am green with envy. If only I could put words together in the same way as Mr. Dreiser. Your cover is gorgeous. Send it to me via email and we can feature it on the Byron&Kugler website.
