p.s. Truly, there is nothing like Bookartbookshop in London or anyone like Tanya Peixoto whose imagination, generosity and intelligence makes this little corner shop like a trip to a new planet (my last comparison was with a universe—so not to diminish the shop but rather invoke something slightly more precise).

And oh, how I wish I could go back to the Small Publishers Fair this year! I’ve been once, and uninformed American that I am, I felt—as I approached a centuries-old community building with “Ethical Society” over the front doors for the first time—I might encounter a meeting of old biddies tsk-tsking the still unrepaired lamp post down the road. Instead, there was an extraordinary bzzzzing. I later learned that Conway Hall was founded in 1886 as “a  haven for the radicals, political and social reformers and freethinkers,” and thus the perfect place to celebrate books made by the renegades. If you’re in London, really, don’t miss going.
