To the Editor:
I enjoyed the article on the Claude Moore Farm bookshop very much (“The Bookshop Worth Exploring,” McLean Connection, September 3-9, 2014). It's great to hear of bookshops that are still flourishing. As an avid bibliophile, I must point out that the sentence, "The Bookshop also organizes its products into subthemes like "The Wizard of Oz" to celebrate the book's upcoming 75th anniversary," is not correct. The film was released 75 years ago; the book was released in 1900, which makes it 114 years old.
Also, since when is "The Wizard of Oz" a "product" of the Claude More Colonial Farm Bookshop?
We kvetch because we care,
