A huge "thank you" to a reader who alerted me to this. I completely missed it (or if I posted this before, I've completely forgotten).

The Book Page
Available now from University of Toronto Press: None Is Too Many: Canada and the Jews of Europe, 1933 - 1948, Irving Abella & Harold Troper.
From wiki:
This is the kind of book we would find in the Harvard Book Store located on Cambridge's (Massachusetts) Harvard Square. Wow, we loved that book store when we lived in Belmont, Massachusetts just a few years ago.
[Speaking of Belmont, that's where General Mark Milley played ice hockey, Belmont High School, before going to Princeton. From wiki:
Milley attended a Catholic grammar school where he played hockey. Good grades and athletic ability led to him being recruited to Belmont Hill School, and afterwards to Princeton University where he played varsity ice hockey.
There, he joined the Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) and in 1980 graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in politics after completing a 185-page-long senior thesis titled "A Critical Analysis of Revolutionary Guerrilla Organization in Theory and Practice".
Milley also holds a Master of International Affairs degree from the School of International & Public Affairs (SIPA) at Columbia University and another Master of Arts degree in national security and strategic studies from the Naval War College.
He is also an attendee of the MIT Center for International Studies Seminar XXI National Security Studies Program.
Milley earned his commission as an armor officer through Princeton's Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps program in 1980. Milley's career has included assignments with the 82nd Airborne Division, 5th Special Forces Group, 7th Infantry Division, 2nd Infantry Division, Joint Readiness Training Center, 25th Infantry Division, Operations Staff of the Joint Staff, and a posting as Military Assistant to the Secretary of Defense.]
And, then of course, we have a US senator, a retired football coach, who is successfully blocking the promotions of flag and general officers.
But I digress. Back to bookstores.
On my shortlist of favorite book stores is the Half-Priced Book Store on Broadway in San Antonio, TX. Great memories. I guess the reason I quit going to Half-Price Book Stores is simply because I couldn't leave without several books and we had simply run out of shelf space.
Best, of course, is Powell's Books in Portland, Oregon.
But time to move on.
