Thoughts and musings about Christmas, holidays, books, music, and mental ephemera. Monday, October 7, 2013. Cuneo Christmas Book Collection. I've written here before about the Cuneo Christmas books I've collected over the past couple of years. The books were published by Cuneo Press in Chicago from 1942-1981(? I've managed to pick up several more editions of the books, including all eight published in the 1940's. Here are a few pictures from the inaugural edition, from 1942:.

Merry and Bright!: Book Review: "Descent"
http://merryandbright.blogspot.com/2015/02/book-review-descent.html
Thoughts and musings about Christmas, holidays, books, music, and mental ephemera. Saturday, February 14, 2015. Mr Johnston's skill at bringing depth to "Descent" is very admirable.

Thoughts a reader may have are quickly erased. Descent" is a fine, gripping, and involved novel, and an excellent choice for a Wintertime read. All albums...
