I’m eager to get onto Wilmington, Vt. Lisa Sullivan is a brave and admired person who has lost two bookstores in the last year. The Book Cellar in Brattleboro burned down, and Bartleby’s in Wilmington was destroyed by the flooding after Irene, along with much of the town. She is rebuilding. I’m going to Wilmington tonight to talk about “Going Home” and there will be a collection for flood relief. The reading will be held at the Deerfield Elementary School in Wilmington, at 6 p.m. I’m dragging the camera and a tripod. I’m much looking forward to this.

Note: the reading at Barnes & Noble, Saratoga Springs will be next Saturday, November 12, not this Saturday. Just went and signed more books at Battenkill Books, which now has Paypal. Christmas shopping is beginning to heat up. We are shooting for 1,000. I’ll report from Wilmington. Didn’t bring my camera to NYC yesterday but couldn’t resist pulling out the I phone for some video of the wax museum, the street, the train.
