About the Books

Acknowledgments

Our everlasting gratitude goes out to the Pikes Peak Library District, which provides us with many hours of entertainment, as well as fodder for this blog.  It’s a fantastic library district with fourteen regular branches and a fifteenth mobile branch so that they might get more books to more people.  We figure our family alone has bought a branch with our fines.  Though that is not the recommended way, we do encourage supporting your local library.  Public libraries are the hallmark of a truly great civilization, free education for everyone and anyone.  Please help them grow.
