Lennertz at Harper is working on essay collections for each of the regional
booksellers associations, and says that he needs some essays from and/or about
Oregon, written by past or present booksellers or librarians. He wonders if
PNBA can help. Attached below is a mock-up of the potential cover for the PNW
version, in case seeing it will help you imagine the project.</span><span

<p style='margin-left:.5in'> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-family:"Lucida Grande","serif"'>Carl
is looking for essays by booksellers, librarians, sales reps, or even
publishers, if they know the state and have a good story/subject/presentation.
He does NOT want stories ABOUT the bookstore or the library, per se, but</span><b>
</b><b><span style='font-family:"Lucida Grande","serif"'>stories BY booksellers
or librarians</span></b><span style='font-family:"Lucida Grande","serif"'>. He
is avoiding authors at this point, because they tend to have an audience. The
finished collection will be published by Delphinium, an imprint of Harper, and
will be promoted and sold in the indie market.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style='margin-left:.5in'> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-family:"Lucida Grande","serif"'>If
you have any ideas, or know someone else who might be interested in
contributing, I would appreciate your passing this request along. Inquiries,
essays and ideas may be sent directly to Carl for his consideration. Here are a
few notes from Carl, about the specifics:</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style='margin-left:.5in'><b><span style='color:#00B14F'>About 2,500 words
and by Word doc by email to me only. If I can use it, we?ll do an edit together
to make it poifect.</span></b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style='margin-left:.5in'> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p style='margin-left:.5in'><b>As you?ll see in our model for this project,
Ecco?s State by State, some authors once lived in the state they wrote about,
or do now, but some were sent to the state for a first, fresh look. I
don?t think you have time for the latter, but really, anything goes. Likewise,
I?m open to pieces about parts of larger states.</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style='margin-left:.5in'> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p style='margin-left:.5in'><b>NOTE: These are NOT about bookstore life; you?re
Jane or John Citizen on this, but of course, working in the book life as part
of the piece would be more than fine.</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style='margin-left:.5in'> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p style='margin-left:.5in'><b>If you?d like a Word version of the Great Lakes
Reader to get a feel for the variety of themes, I can email that to you.</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style='margin-left:.5in'><b><span style='font-family:"Lucida Grande","serif";
