'Round The Block Balladeer

Westchester has their annual Rotary parking lot used book sale and I came back with a stack of cool stuff, which included this- a non-fiction book about going mountaineering on horseback in 1910. The pages weren't cut, which basically it was an 103 year old book that no one has ever read. (for those that don't know, the old style of book publishing left pages folded and uncut- you used a letter opener to cut those pages- that's why really old books have frayed edged pages) Any way, it's a great fun book- he tells you what you have to know about pack horses to start. And it's all about our coastal ranges here in old California.

Also found Calvino novel I hadn't read, a McMurtry book about Tahiti, a book about a schooner trip to the South Pacific in the 30s, a Hamlin Garland novel from 1910, and a bunch of other cool stuff.
