New Maurice Thompson book
« on: March 26, 2008, 07:04:00 PM »
For those Thompson brothers fans, the brand new "Toxophilus in Arcadia" by Maurice Thompson is hot off the press. This was the book Maurice was working on prior his death. I think its safe to say Cliff Huntington did an exceptional job in accumulating, compiling, corresponding with Thompson family members, editing and finally publishing this rare item. Cliff has donated the first dozen copies to PBS. I will have a few extras for sale in the Brothers of the Bow booth in Pittsburgh starting Friday. Hope to see you there!

Thanks for the update Gene. With the St Johns only a couple miles from my door I think about the Thompson's adventures there often. Maurice's writings are picturesque window into the past.

Gene, are you in contact with Cliff? I sure would like to ask him a question about the value of a book I own. If you are, could you PM me and I will give you the information to pass on. Thanks, Gapmaster
