Seems worth stating that we have been truly hunkering down for weeks now, far more careful and limited than most, steering clear of all people to steer clear of all chance of the virus. One upside to this sincere seclusion, besides more time in the Vermont woods, has been that we can state that our books are coming from a home that is safe. Be careful with yourselves please, as careful as you can. And remember, seclusion is far better with some good old books.
