My oldest daughter, Madeleine (the Russian and Latin scholar), has just taken a job as a Latin teacher. When she was a student of Latin in middle school and high school I started to pick up vintage Latin books that I would find at the thrift store and used bookshops. You'd be surprised how useful they ended up being! Now Madeleine is in her own apartment with her own bookshelves (full of course!) and I was helping her unpack when she pulled this one out. I don't remember where I got it but I immediately recognized Gordon Laite's engaging artwork. This is why book collecting is such a treasure hunt!
