I'm thinking that one of these days it would be fun to take a train up to the Harvard museum to see the
glass flowers which are currently being refurbished.
In 1886 the museum's first director, Mycologist George Lincoln Goodale, commissioned Leopold and Rudolf Blaschka, a father-and-son team of German artisians to create the glass models.
Is any one in the treehouse interested in going up there?
This letter was in my in box this morning. I've been a fan of Bibliofind for the past couple of years, not sure I'm happy about this merger.
Dear Bibliofind Customer,
As one of our valued customers, we'd like to thank you for making
Bibliofind a leading destination for buying used, rare, and
out-of-print books. We are proud of the integral role Bibliofind
has played in developing rare and used bookselling on the Internet
and appreciate the support of our community of dealers and
customers.
Today we are pleased to announce that as of May 7, 2001,
Bibliofind will unite with Amazon.com through Amazon's Marketplace
and zShops operations. This move will better serve Bibliofind
customers by offering the unparalleled selection and ease-of-use
for which Amazon.com is famous, while continuing to provide access
to many of the Bibliofind dealers you already know and trust.
As of May 7, 2001, customers will visit a new Bibliofind home page
where they can search for millions of rare, used, and out-of-print
books presented by a network of independent booksellers through
Amazon Marketplace and zShops.
Please note that although we are joining our service with
Amazon.com's we will not transfer any personal information that
you gave Bibliofind to Amazon.com or to any other party.
Thank you again for your support of Bibliofind.
Sincerely,
Bibliofind.com
"continuing to provide access
to many of the Bibliofind dealers you already know and trust." I guess this means not all of them. I thought Amazon was going out of business.
