Book Fair Open
To Suggestions
In response to a recent letter ("Book
Fair Missed Two Great Books,"
Nov. 23, page 6), we have checked
on the books mentioned.
Moose aw e '
Old Wife's Tale: My Seven Decades
in Love and War, by Midge Decter,
,had a publisher's date of September
2001 and was on the cusp of our
ordering deadline. Additionally, it
gave no indication of being written
by a Jewish author or having Jewish
content
requirements for being
available at the annual Jewish Book
Fair. Ex-Friends, by Norman
Podhoretz, was published in 1999
and had been available at previous
book fairs. We try to concentrate on
newly published books each year.
We rely on the many publishers
with whom we do business, as well
as our community, to let us know of
books that meet our requirements.
Any person who would like to make
suggestions for next year's book fair
should send recommendations to
Jewish Community Center, Book
Fair Office, 6600 W. Maple, West
Bloomfield, MI 48322. We will try
ro honor requests if possible. We
look forward to seeing everyone at
the Jewish Book Fair, Nov. 9-17,
2002.

Wrong Message

I am not sure if it is the
weather or just the holiday
season but my hair
has been looking fantastic.
Who on your staff thought that the
title of Linda Bachrack's piece, "Get
Stoned!," was hip and cute (Gift
Guide, Nov. 30, page G31)?
It's a terrible message to even hint
at to both young and old readers.
Love you and see you
at the shop soon.
