I have a shelf on two piano hinges that I put up when I need horizontal space. I was working there just in order to insert footnotes (on single pages) into the text of MOBY-DICK for the third Norton Critical Edition. Even when you are facing a wall, you want color from books, don't you? All the Melville books and offprints and other printed material--all all all--will be going to Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas, this year, if all goes well. Then there will be the books on Southern history for ORNERY PEOPLE.Hershel Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03919613095448470289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22001031.post-12068108934976173052016-04-06T19:42:31.125-07:002016-04-06T19:42:31.125-07:00Dear Professor Parker, I'm honored that you st...Dear Professor Parker, I'm honored that you stopped by!

I would need the right paint and furniture, a replacement window and some outdoor building, not really a big change -- I have the concept going, have the daybed and the rug, really need the right desk and shelves, the ones I have do not really work, and the window and outside need work to get tranquil / beautiful enough ... writing houses need to be beautiful but also removed.<br /><br />My other idea is complete tatami. I have always wanted a traditional Japanese house but I think a tatami writing cottage in a Zen back yard could be a good compromise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22001031.post-19018551799811387182016-02-23T09:01:14.066-08:002016-02-23T09:01:14.066-08:00profacero, it is beautiful, isn't it?

I'd be happy with just the desk side. undinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05589384016564587214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22001031.post-4004499510495150932016-02-22T08:32:05.227-08:002016-02-22T08:32:05.227-08:00So beautiful it even seems destructive to close th...So beautiful it even seems destructive to close the tab / post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
