Thank you so much, Mary Ann Malkin and Marcus McCorison for your
recollections of the early days of AB. This book-dealer of 36 years in the
trade, got his inspiration to enter this best of all worlds from the pages of
AB, which I devoured hungrily each week. It was my primary school, secondary
school, and postgraduate school of bookselling. Sol was truly a great guy
and I'm sure there are many others besides me, who got their inspiration from
him (and you, mam).
I always felt that Jake Chernofsky took up the reins of AB with the same
dedication and love of the trade that the Malkins had and he was a good
friend. But, as it does for many of us, the world just changed too quickly.
Thanks for the memories. Ed Glaser
