Changing blogging domain and site

Image
Dear blogger friends, Lately, I had a few problems with the Blogger web site for my blog The Content Reader . I took this as a sign that I should finally create a web site of my own. I have been checking out other options, but could not get my act together. Finally, I have managed to create a basic web site with Wix, which I hope will be developed over time.  It has not been easy to find my way around. One thing one can say about Blogger is that it is easy to work with.  This site will no longer be updated Follow me to my new domain @  thecontentreader.com Hope to see you there.  Lisbeth @ The Content Reader

Expensive Whitman!

Yesterday Christie's sold a first edition of "Leaves of Grass" by American poet and humanist Walt Whitman for $305,000. This is the most expensive book sold by Whitman and more than double the expected estimate. A previous record for the same book and same author was $230,500, sold by Sotheby's in October 2011.

The most expensive book ever sold is the Bay Psalm Book, sold by Sotheby's in the autumn of 2013 for $14.2 million! Wouw! I read that this is the first book printed in British North America in 1640, in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
