"I'd leave all the hurry, the noise, and the fray,
For a house full of books, and a garden of flowers."

~ Andrew Lang [1844 - 1912] Ballade of True Wisdom.  Stanza 3 


"You can cover a great deal of country in books."

~ Andrew Lang [Scots poet, novelist, Nobel Prize in Literature] To the Gentle Reader, Stanza 5

CLOSED FOR THE SECOND DAY ~ This is a foot-and-a-half drop into rubble.  We cannot explain as a small business why the county contract leaves us in these conditions.  We apologize to our customers and friends for any inconvenience and invite the Mayor, the Councillors and the County Project Manager to visit the small businesses in Cayuga.
