THE AUDACITY OF CALLING ONESELF A MENSCH

Commendable as it is that Noah Alper is … [comment deleted by admin]

[Admin: I want to thank Mr. Killingsworth for coming forward with his real name. However, he was not "invited to resubmit" his comment to this blog post. Here's why: This is a blog about book design, publishing, and helping authors who want to self-publish. Mr. Killingsworth's comments are completely off-topic for this blog, since they did not address any of these areas. I have no way to discern whether Mr. Killingsworth's comments are accurate, and to be honest, I have little interest in whether they are accurate or not. I am not the publisher or author of Mr. Alper's book. I am the designer. If Mr. Killingsworth is interested in discussing the design of this book, the typography, the cover, the editing, or anything else concerned with its physical manufacture, I would be most happy to engage him in a dialogue. However, the past practices of Mr. Alper vis a vis labor unions, fairness to workers, accuracy of his interpretations of Judaism, simply have no place in this forum. I would encourage Mr. Killingsworth to find a more apt forum for his thoughts, perhaps on Mr. Alper's own website or at some other forum concerned with those topics.]

Commendable as it is that Noah Alper is unapologetically …

Just got your comment today, it was stuck in the spam filter.

I haven’t been as lucky (or as determined) as you and haven’t had a decent eggcream in many many years, although we used to make them at home with our big seltzer bottles that got dropped off at the back door every week.

Interesting, I lived in lower Westchester (Mt. Vernon) and upper Westchester much later (Tarrytown and Yorktown Heights) and have remained a committed Sunday Times guy myself.

Thanks for stopping by, and good to meet you!
