I am so happy that you made me aware of books I didn’t know about. As an author and educator, I have a large collection of physical grammar school text books at many grade levels, some dating back to the 1700’s. Some of my collection includes an array of Braille books (which I teach). So I’m fascinated to discover your “book shelves” as well. Nice serendipity that you chose to stand in front of that display for your photo and piqued my curiosity.

I’ve begun reading “A Distant Mirror,” and find it compelling right from the start.

With the threats to our own country during the last nine years, Tuchman’s words ‘plague, war, taxes, brigandage, bad government, insurrection, and schism in the church’ in her Foreword sound chillingly familiar.

Again, thank you, CaliforniaPeggy.
🙏
