We got this note and photo recently from Kate Harris<\/a> whose book, Lands of Lost Borders<\/a>, was just written up in the New York Times Review of Books<\/a>. It’s been a good year for Kate, and if you’re looking for a good holiday (or any time) read, we recommend Lands of Lost Borders.

Cheers,<\/em><\/p>\n
