As I sit, looking at the worn and tattered cover of my 1st edition ‘A People’s History Of The United States’ by Howard Zinn, I can’t help but wonder where my life would and would not have gone were I deprived its wisdom.

Bookstores and libraries are oceans such vessels of wisdom sail upon; they are the guardians not the gatekeepers.

Ms. Cohen, you speak of an agenda that you guarantee no one will listen if you promote this book. Do you have the wisdom to make this decision for me? Promote both sides, all sides, or none. Let them speak for themselves. Being the guardian of an ocean of knowledge would seem sufficient responsibility without attempting to calculate the impact of every book in relationship to your agendas.

Be well
Be well informed
Respectfully,
