I've admired your comments on the very few threads that I follow.
Even though I've been here at LibraryThing for more than a year (3-4 months paid), in reality I am essentially a Goodreads refugee.
But......I am amazed by the less-than-well-known books that you and I share; Leonora Carrington, Eric Gurney, Elaine Pagels,...wow.
I am a retired architect, living very happily in Social Security poverty in rural, remote, Northern New Mexico. I love to read. I love to cook.
I already know that you are a decent, very literate, and helpful spirit.
So, in a few words, I would be honored to be your friend.

I'm flagging them because the quality of the image is inferior, and there is a much better version of each image which I'm flagging. If there is no better image, than I leave it be. It would be nice to be able to clear out low quality images when there are far better ones from which to choose, of the same cover.

Didn't realise it had to be an image of the library. If its that important, I can remove it.
Best,

Well, I'm on a trip down memory lane now, partly using the little guy that walks down the streets on Google Maps. Unfortunately, he doesn't hit the pavement at 73rd & Phillips but he does wander nearby. I did leave out the most important part of the neighborhood recall, the Good Humor ice cream garage on Exchange behind the South Shore Library. If there are Good Humor Toasted Almond bar stains on the (very much) older kids library books there, I did it.
Thanks for jogging my brain on South Shore and prompting the memory lane trip.

Just a quick FYI that Etiquette for Children:
http://www.librarything.com/work/11917345
was a record setup for the sole purpose to link to a Washington DC company's website and promote their Etiquette classes. It has nothing to do with Etiquette for the Children:
http://www.librarything.com/work/7455486
and I feel should be considered spam.
