Thanks for sharing it. Eve...Excellent story, David. Thanks for sharing it. Even as the publisher of the revised "Super Grandpa" with audio CD, I did not appreciate the element of chance in the creation of your fine book! I too recognize the power of our older research tools. At the moment, I'm in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Reading ghost stories in Spanish, I often break to look up words in a dictionary (not online). Often, I seem to fall under the spell of one term, the search for which reveals interesting connections to others. I figure anyone over 30 probably knows what I'm talking about. Much more enriching to thumb through pages of vocabulary than to arrive at laser speed to the one word that first mattered!Matthew Gollubhttp://www.matthewgollub.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1337206901491734394.post-56730750644245004672009-07-27T12:16:59.035-04:002009-07-27T12:16:59.035-04:00I LOVE Super Grandpa and read it to my elementary ...I LOVE Super Grandpa and read it to my elementary students every year!

We have to be on the lookout for we weren't specifically looking for, but which contain the seeds of a good story.Sarah Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04306229509907096254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1337206901491734394.post-78283353573653206872009-07-27T06:43:02.032-04:002009-07-27T06:43:02.032-04:00David. great post!

I also went to obscure libraries to leaf through hundreds of back issues of very specialized magazines. I depended on the copying machine then. The internet makes it a lot easier to do research while sitting at home. But it seems to takes more time than ever. We can dig up so much material tnat it still takes a discerning eye to distinguish the wheat from the chaff (to use an anachronistic metaphore).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07214356318088069618noreply@blogger.com
