Folklorist
Henry
Henry
Glassie is a professor of Folklore and co-director of Turkish Studies at
Indiana University. He has won many awards and grants for his work,
and two of his books have been named among the outstanding books of the
year by the New York Times. Dede knows him through her rug
studies and Turkish travels, and was excited to learn that the artist of
one of her Turkish plates is featured in Turkish
Traditional Art Today. This
is a particularly lavish book (948 pages!) with photographs on every page
and a great appreciation of Turkish culture and art. He is also active
with the Museum of International Folk Art (for which he wrote Spirit
of Folk Art: The Girard Collection at the Museum of International
Folk Art), and I was excited to visit
this museum in Santa Fe, New Mexico, because of him.

Dr. Bob
Dr.
Graves used to keep us dryly entertained with his underhanded humor in
class, slipping in a "seen through a dark glass lightly", "kick a rock
and the whole damn mountain falls down" and "crap"--his only, and never
excessive, expletive of choice. His gentle manner and conscientious
leadership should be a model for all university professors. Then
the perpetual student goal of making the professor laugh will not be a
lost art form.

The
Book of Jonah is a book lover's
book. The eleven original wood engraving are crisp, imaginative and
beautiful (the reproduction here suffers by comparison). The printing
must also be admired: Mohawk Superfine paper, letterpress in both English
and Hebrew, and a balanced layout. Presswork by Frank Underwood,
binding by Barbara B. Blumenthal, typography by Barry Hoffman. Barry
has an exacting eye and made sure everything lined up (not that you'd notice
the one half-font size error in the book, but you will recognize this as
a quality production). Remember his name as an artist to watch.

Managing Director
I
was just an intern at Milwaukee Repertory Theater, but I have several classic
memories of the esteemed managing director there. My favorite was
meeting her at the elevator one particularly viscious sub-zero blue-skied
Milwaukee morning when she greeted me with "brisk, isn't it?" That
it was. The theater is an oasis, however, with an enviable working
and performance space, and one of the finest ensemble acting companies
in the country. It deserves a book.

It's
true, my uncle is a scholar of Oriental rugs. You're probably thinking,
oh, that's why Loganberry Books shares space with Dede Moore Oriental Rugs,
but that isn't quite how it happened. Then again, it might not be
that far afield. I certainly grew up with an appreciation of rugs,
especially tribal and Caucasian rugs, and this does indeed help me when
my partner is out of town or taking a day off. Fortunately, she likes
books too. But I digress. Uncle Dick's book is a landmark in
history and our understanding of weaving cultures and techniques.
He even came to the shop for a lecture and book signing, now that was a
perfect marriage of events for our store!
Check out the great review published in Hali Magazine.
