This article from the New York Times Travel section is interesting. I like that the Jones Library is mentioned, especially the graphic novel disscussion and the quote from Bonnie.
But here is my favorite part:
The Amherst Books Web site has a section featuring current books by local authors: about 150 are listed.
“We’ve got to update that,” Mr. Herold said of a task that has become increasingly time consuming. “Authors keep moving into the area, and the writers we have here are very prolific.”
Very true. I love that about the Pioneer Valley.
