It looked like I would be spending a lot of today’s session of the floating book shop in the car, given the clouds and wind, but the sky cleared, and I stood where the apartment building at the corner of East 13th blocked most of the cold breeze. My thanks to my Constant Benefactress, who bought Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens and Daily Life During the Holocaust by Carol D. Schulz and Eve Nussbaum Soumerai; and to the gentleman who purchased three hardcovers in Russian; and to young entrepreneur Gareth, who selected Capital Ideas: The Improbable Origins of Modern Wall Street by Peter L. Bernstein; and to the elderly woman who chose In Pursuit of the Proper Sinner by Elizabeth George.
