The early bulbs have sprouted and blossomed, this year's selection of vegetable seedlings are almost ready to go into the garden, and we're looking ahead to a busy season of shows and events. On the Road Again... We also enjoyed our trip to Malvern, PA in April for the Chester County Historical Society's 2013 Antiques Show. We packed the trusty blue van with a full load of books, and spent a busy weekend meeting customers and old friends. Speaking of old friends, we had the pleasure of visiting with architect and preservationist John Milner at our booth. John is the co-author of Stone Houses: Traditional Homes of Pennsylvania's Bucks County and Brandywine Valley and a notable figure in the historical preservation and restoration field. Steve with John Milner at our booth at the Chester In Memoriam In This Issue...

 ![Painted Rooms of Rhode Island [book cover]](/schuyler/images/uploads/TDeAbz67_20130130131556.jpg "Painted Rooms of Rhode Island [book cover]") The latest book by New England art historian Ann Eckert Brown, author of two other books on American painted interior elements, uncovers the beauty of the painted interior decorations of Rhode Island's Colonial and Federal period mansions. Commissioned by wealthy merchants, these sophisticated and colorful rooms often feature advanced artistic techniques such as trompe l'oeil fine wood and stone finishes, gold leaf ornamentation on carved woodwork, and imitation oriental lacquer finish known as "architectural Japanning." This is a lavishly illustrated, thoroughly researched book is a valuable addition to the New England historian's bookshelf.  This small volume is a delightful collection of short poems revealing the world from a cat's eye view, from the writer of the syndicated daily comic strip "Sally Forth". This book was our pick for a holiday present for our friends and family, and it got rave reviews from all, so we're pleased to offer it to our cat-loving customers. These hilarious poems, illustrated with adorable cat photos (along with the occasional dog), reveal the feline mind at work and play. With titles such as "My Life is Ruined", "Some of My Best Friends Are Dogs", "Elegy for a Toy I Broke", and "Bigger Cat" (I'm not fat, I'm big-boned/I'm not fat, I'm a bigger breed...I'm not the reason you threw out your back/But the next time you lift me, do so with your knees"), these poems are sure to amuse and delight any cat owner. As you can see from the picture above, our bookstore kitty approves. Keep in Touch With Us! Don't forget to check out our bookstore Page on Facebook!

Old House Journal/Old House Interiors Reference Library Collection Steven Schuyler Bookseller is proud to be the owner of the entire reference library of the famed period home restoration magazine Old House Journal and its sister publication, Old House Interiors. The collection, which starts off with a copy of Palladio Londoniensis: or the Art of London Building from 1734, and runs through to the latest publications from 2009. Clem Labine, the magazine's originator, and his successor Patricia Poore generally bought visually interesting books with no thought of their potential value. But many of the titles in the collection have become quite rare. The collection offers an array of period works, from early Sweet's catalogs and nineteenth century pattern books to obscure titles on building materials and technologies, all gathered around the period house and its grounds.
