ANATOMY of a DAY: BOOKS


Today was a true Troy's Work Table day. All of the major categories were included: books, art, beer, and wanderings.

BOOKS
A visit to Tacoma Book Center yielded the hardcover Everyman's Library edition of The Complete Shorter Fiction by Herman Melville. I was especially interested in getting it for the 200 pages of uncollected stories and sketches, which includes "Hawthorne and His Mosses," a fawning review of Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Mosses from an Old Manse." It was a great find in near mint condition.
