Dear Friends,

      It's rainy at the moment, but the weather forecast augurs very well for another BOOKtober weekend full of events here at Walk a Crooked Mile Books. Our 30% off sale on all books including this title by P.G. Wodehouse (by the way, we happen to have a slew of his books in stock right now) is proceeding briskly but, worry not, there are still piles and piles of books available to you. Only 12 more days !

     On Friday, we are pleased to have the rescheduled Philadelpia Area Songwriters Alliance concert - they got rained out by Irene and have a new cast of 8 singer songwriters, including Drew Calvin, pictured to the left and Naila pictured to the right. Last year's concert was really quite remarkable - everyone singing pieces that they have composed. Concert is from 7-9 and, as always, bring a chair or blanket and a picnic. Should the weather suddenly turn, the rain date is on Saturday.

     Speaking of Saturday, it's the day for our ultimate yard sale for this season and again the weather looks brisk and sunny - perfect for an October extravaganza. We've extended the times from 9 a.m.- 4 p.m. and Sharon Abbott will be performing once again. Two weeks ago, James Rosenblatt, one of our neighbors sat in with Sharon because her voice was failing and the two of them hit it off in a big way and plan to play together again this Saturday.

    Finally, I want to remind you of the Book Drive for Camden children without books. This was put together by a young high school girl who worked in a rec center with children this past summer and she was so moved by the hunger of kids to have new books to read that she took it upon herself to organize a book drive. We've filled up a box or two but she needs lots of books. If you don't have children's books, come and buy some of ours and then donate them to the cause.

Hope to see you several times this week.

Greg and Cynthia
