Auguste Reading to Her Daughter

by Mary Cassatt

Reading women were a favorite subject matter for painter Mary Cassatt.

All the paintings on this page are by her.

I've spent a little time inventorying the books in my basement.

Young Lady Reading

As Henry Thoreau once said:

"I have now a library of nearly 900 volumes over 700 of which I wrote myself--"

I imagine he meant he had 700 unsold copies of one of his own books and a few by some other authors. I am in a similar position.

I've also checked on which of my books are still available to purchase from other places.

The Reader

If you are looking at this page on a computer you can see a column over on the right with links to books I've written. I've recently updated that so most of the links should work.

There are a few places you can buy the books.

One good source is my Etsy Shop. I have copies from the original print runs that I will be glad to sign and send you.

Francoise

The other is C&T Publishing's search page about MOI

http://www.ctpub.com/search.php?search_query=brackman

Last time I looked they have 14 books available. Some were originally published by the Kansas City Star Quilt Division and are from the original print runs.Others that C&T published over the years are print-on-demand (meaning they print a darn good edition when you order it.)

Reading Le Figaro

Some of the books like Clues in the Calico are completely out of print

 (can't find a POD or an eBook edition)

but it's not that outrageously priced as a used book online.
