 The
mural of HOT PAINT's cover created by artist John Robertson and hanging in
the window of Village Books in the days preceding Bob's visit. (Last year
it was a portrait of the author, which now is hanging proudly in Bob's
den, but you can check it out on last year's Village Books picture
page...) |
 That's
John in his studio with his wonderful rendering, which came as a surprise
to Bob. |
 Shopkeeps
Kati (left) and Amy, as usual, were on hand to oversee the evening of
reading and signing and, of course, to sell copies of Neil and Stevie's
latest adventure. (Their stockpile was close to being sold out in the days
prior to Bob's arrival. A new supply arrived barely hours before his
arrival.) |
