Dear coffeemaker,

We sure had some good times together, didn't we? Waking up in the morning, me whispering sweet nothings into your filter, you gracing me with warm, delicious caffeinated beverages. You weren't fancy or expensive or anything, but you always made me great coffee, and I really liked you.

I'm sorry that I didn't even notice that you were sick. You made me a great cup of coffee yesterday, and that must have been your swan song, because this morning, well, you were dead. I ground up my hippie fair trade organic shade-grown coffee from Bolivia, poured in the water, flipped your switch, and—nothing.

I guess I'll find another coffeemaker eventually, but we were together for years and I'm really going to miss you. In the meantime, there's Tim Horton's. But anyway, if you had to die, did you really have to kick the bucket on Labour Day when all the stores are closed?

Woe,

Sabs

Your package is enroute to you via UPS. It should arrive by Friday afternoon.

And once you are done with those, I have another bundle almost prepped.

Have I ever sent you any Max Friedman books?

[sabotabby]

I haven't, but I've been dying to read those.

The Max Friedman stories are now complete - I even have the old, out-of-print books including his formative Hungarian Rhapsody. However, the Jew in Communist Prague stories are unfortunately still a work in progress. Shall I enclose those as well? I think there is only one last volume to go, so what I have ends on a bit of a cliffhanger*

Speaking of complete works in progress, the second volume of Jason Lutes's Berlin (City of Smoke) is complete leaving only one more volume to go. The collected trade paperback comes out later this month, but I already have all the issues. I will resend you Volume 1, City of Stone, along with the issues since it has been a while. If I get the trade paperback first, I'll send both collections instead of the loose issues.

I can also lend you the Internationale DVD along with Tell the Truth and Run: George Seldes and the American Press which spends a good portion of time on his coverage of the Spanish Civil War.
