Book Question

Anyone have a copy of American Eccentrics by Carl Sifakis?

The amazon.com page claims it's a hard-cover from Galahad Books, April 1994.

Does it have a write-up in it for Timothy Dexter? He apparently made fortunes shipping Bibles, bed-warmers, mittens & caps to Jamaica, shipping coal to Newcastle, and buying up all the whalebone in America. And did all of these at the perfect time. By pure luck.

Vacation Day 3

Quiet at home - we never got out of the house.

I finished Strong Poison in the afternoon.

Some minor kitchen cleaning, and made barbecued beans )

Monica, Flavin and friends came over for dinner.

I read LJ and e-mail for several hours.

Now for some reading of Have His Carcase.
