Also today is the local library’s book sale day and I hit the jackpot by finding a copy of Lauren Bacall’s “By Myself,” a book on the making of South Pacific, a free book from the ’70s about nuclear experimentation and a book of Noel Coward’s personal letters… all for the low, low price of $1.75! Expect posts on these books some time in the future since they’re all related to classic film or to social context of the time.
