I met Lenny shortly after I bought The Book Den in 1979. And, in fact, I hired him to voice a radio commercial. I had written this script with Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson extolling the qualities of The Book Den, but I was too poor, or cheap, to hire two voice actors. So Lenny did both parts, so beautifully that you would never know there was only one man behind the two voices. Lenny was a sweet man. I ran into him on the street a while ago. As ever, just seeing him brought a smile to my face.

Well, I wouldn't call "Go the F**k to Sleep" a children's book exactly. It is a perfect gift for new parents, though - or those you wish to dissuade from becoming parents. And it's available at The Book Den.

The smartest thing Borders did in Santa Barbara was to hire Kate Schwab. The dumbest thing was to let her go. Kate gave the Borders store a face and a local quality that's rare in chain stores.

If there's ever been anyone who deserves her success, it's Mahri. Chaucer's - the store, the inventory, the staff, and Mahri herself - is all about the books.

Thanks, Barney, for the nod to used book stores. I'd like to point out that one will still be able to buy new books downtown after January 7th. The Book Den has been selling new books, as well as used, in downtown Santa Barbara since 1933. In the light of upcoming events, we'll be expanding our offerings.

Mr. Hormozfar was a kind, helpful and immensely knowledgeable man. He almost always had what I needed, even if I didn't know exactly what that was. And he saved me endless trouble by explaining exactly how to do what I needed to do. A true asset to the community who will be sorely missed.
