Peter<BR/><BR/>For Isdihara:<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comments as well! And thanks for the link. I love those couches and wish I had one myself! <BR/><BR/>For Anonymous:<BR/><BR/>I probably didn't explain it as well as I could have. Apparently Mr. Spinelli personally inscribed a copy of his book for every member of the committee. Then the committee chair photocopied the letter and gave a copy to each of the committee members. So the book I have did not actually belong to the Newbery chair, but to another member of that year's committee. I believe she died, which is how the book ended up for sale. Thanks so much for reading my blog! PeterPeter D.

We both read your blog first each day because it is such a great, interesting read. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for writing. I really do enjoy reading.<BR/><BR/>I thought of you when I saw this article on the Boing Boing website today:<BR/>http://www.boingboing.net/2008/06/11/kids-furniture-shape.html<BR/><BR/>If I had a whole room in my house devoted to the lovely pursuit of reading, I'd get a set of these couches to use as novel chaises. Enjoy!<BR/><BR/>IsDiharaIsDiharahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16129251975229390303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046320545497573335.post-38205447075605196592008-06-11T19:38:00.000-04:002008-06-11T19:38:00.000-04:00Hi Peter,I continue to find Collecting Children's ...Hi Peter,<BR/><BR/>I continue to find Collecting Children's Books one of the most interesting blogs out there, and the first one I read each day!
