Ed. Note: I am tardy in telling you about this event, but the ROUND THE MOUNTAIN BOOK SALE has its final day on SUNDAY,and our Walpolean friend Ray Boas is participating this year. ROUND THE MOUNTAIN BOOK SALE has been held every fall and spring for over ten years. Five out-of-print bookshops in the Mt. Monadnock area host this sale event, and this fall for the first time, Ray is joining Aard Books in Troy; Eagle Books in Keene; Homestead Books in Marlborough, and Bequaert Old Books in Fitzwilliam.  Tomorrow--Sunday--is the last day.

Cathy and Ray Boas started attending the "Round the Mountain" and to vacation in the area surrounding Mt. Monadnock 10 years ago. They credit attending the tour and friends they met while doing so as contributing to their moving their bookshop to the Common in Walpole from Connecticut in 2002. Or call Ray at 756-9900.
