His comment about Brown is very revealing--Brown's influence was so enormous that it goes beyond his individual commissions and opinions, so we need Jane Brown to help disentangle myth from reality.<br /><br />---Road to ParnassusParnassushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958901307538141468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498357134928699381.post-30498162910475290902011-08-04T15:57:08.251-04:002011-08-04T15:57:08.251-04:00Fascinating!

No surprise then to see the broad range of books of which<br />he is fond. There are a few titles new to me, but that will soon be remedied.Toby Worthingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05887066048372484464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498357134928699381.post-70914510215265900002011-08-03T10:54:39.970-04:002011-08-03T10:54:39.970-04:00Hi, Gaye - Thank you for the excellent interview a...Hi, Gaye - Thank you for the excellent interview and for introducing us to Emile de Brujin.

Seeing the facing page of the title page in Bedford's "A Legacy" and reading his comment about it, reminded me that he probably felt much better about "The Sudden View," a travel book on Mexico which cost me $1.45 in 1963 and may be regarded as one fabulous investment.Laurenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17972899387484460347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498357134928699381.post-1117217092513120492011-08-02T21:32:11.514-04:002011-08-02T21:32:11.514-04:00I receive Emile's blog by email.

He always gets it, as in his quote below...<br /><br />"I think blogs can be a new version of the library, as repositories of information and networks of connections. Blogs can be archives and exhibitions too, as well as virtual coffee shops, which makes them such a fascinating new medium."<br /><br />We are so lucky to know him.Barbara Wells Sarudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15277378178650355645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498357134928699381.post-1729366619786804322011-08-02T20:59:14.738-04:002011-08-02T20:59:14.738-04:00I can't begin to find all the right words to t...I can't begin to find all the right words to thank you for this post.<br /><br />A person I do not know.<br /><br />So many books I am ignorant of until today.<br /><br />Thank You X 2 :)Bruce Baronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08262814724740244551noreply@blogger.com
