I found this great book at the Salvation Army today! The Great American Jobs Scam by Greg LeRoy! Not only is it signed by the author, but it also reveals the truth about the big tax breaks that corporations get and the non-existant theory of "job creation"! This book is a real eye opener!

For those of you who have ever read any of the Black Stallion books by Walter Farley, his eldest son Steven, has taken the reins since his father died over 20 years ago. I'd been able to correspond with him via e-mail back in 2001 and he had sent me a postcard featuring a scene from the 1979 movie which he had signed and dated just after the 9/11 attacks. In 2004, I mailed a few Black Stallion books for him to sign. In January 2009, just after the release of his (then) newest book.....a first edition I was able to meet him in person in Venice, FL where his mom and younger brother live, at a special event at the Venice Public Library honoring the 30th anniversary of the movie.  I had the book with me and, as it turned out, both his mom and his brother were there. I took the opportunity to have all 3 sign the book and I also had Tim (his brother) sign the postcard his brother had sent me in 2001.

No mail today, but I did find some nice signed books at the Goodwil...

Mag-ni-fi-cat and the Christmas Tree Mystery by Linda E. Masek

A Mother's Journey by Kimberly J. Garrow

Future Perfect by Stanley M. Davis

My Life In and Out of the Rough by John Daly

The Daly auto isn't the best as it is signed on the cover of the book and has a couple of streaks through it, but for a buck, I will keep it in the collection until I can find a better copy!

This week I received back from Susan Orlean her new biography on Rin Tin Tin, which I had mailed to her for her signature. It was a 13 day turnaround and she even dated it for me (which I'd asked her to do).

I went to my local used book store to try and track down some books by authors that I had signed book plates for. I ended up finding 3 of the 6!
