In fact way too long. I am afraid my holiday was too relaxing to give time to Uncovered History. Sorry. I will be posting a few notes next week and choosing my topic for September.
If that sounds good stay tuned.
I just wanted to mention a very fine rare and used book shop I discovered in Evanston called Amaranth Books. The selection is truly remarkable and if i could afford the shipping I would leave $150 with the owner every quarter to ship books home to Ireland as his choice and taste is very close to my own.
If you are ever in Chicago get the Pruple Line to Davis (Or the Metra) and go shop, its well worth it. Today for instance I picked up Schama’s Citizens for one dollar and in hardback too!
I’ll post properly soon
