Books for the Practical Historian
"Whimsy matters." Aimee Mullins

"Classic — a book people praise and don’t read." Mark Twain, Following the Equator

We are back home after a nice long vacation and a not-so-nice short airplane trip. We heartily recommend eastern Long Island as a summer vacation spot, as long as there's not a three-week-long hot spell centered on a house with no air conditioning.

This means, of course, that you can order books without an overly long delay in shipping. We await the opportunity to flood UPS and the U.S. Postal Service with eagerness.
