Do you keep a book book?
I used to keep a list of the books I read. I don’t recall why I filled this little notebook*, because this was back in the ‘90s. I worked at a bookstore, and I was gobbling books up as fast as I could. Month by month, I chronicled the books I read and the ones […]

Celebrating a new book by Donna Erickson
I celebrate my client Donna Erickson’s book, Rooted at the Edge: Ranching Where the Old West and New West Collide. (University of Nebraska Press/Bison Books, 2025).
