book lovers welcome
as all great literature
haunted by the ghosts

Adapted from the notice posted at the entrance to the bookshop, Parnassus at Home, located in, according to the book, The Haunted Bookshop, by Christopher Morley, Brooklyn, NY.

There was a time in my life when almost everyone in the circles that I inhabited, owned a copy of this book.

One person whose name I can’t recall, felt it was her prize possession, especially after she had it signed by Garrision Keillor.

If you haven’t read it, it is a pleasant couple of hours and available online for free here.

As an aside, the first time I was given a copy by my sister Janet’s mother-in-law, Betty Benish. I still have it.
