It was a fun place but I was slightly disappointed because I was hunting for books in French for my grandchildren. All their books are in English! Why go to Paris and buy books in English? At a different bookstore, I got a book on medieval France for my older grandson, a book on ballet for my granddaughter, and a book called "Ou est Charlie?" (exactly like "Where's Waldo?") for my grandson Charile.

Your grandchildren read French? Impressive! They're homeschooled, right?

There is a Shakespeare & Co. in Philadelphia, too. It's less than a block from Barnes & Noble. I used to spend a Sunday afternoon just browsing in Barnes & Noble. I bought all my Longmire books at Barnes & Noble.

They're picture books with just a few words of French on each page.

There were quite a few good cartoons in this issue. Here's one that I sent to my grandson.
I just discovered something. You can download NY cartoons to your computer, but after a while they...decompose or something.

Making my way slowly through the food archive issue, starting with Anthony Bourdain's entertaining day in the life of a chef. I see a number of others I want to read as well.
