From today's Freep.... DOING RIGHT BY MA SHINE: Former Free Press publisher honors his mother in a moving and often humorous memoir "...The book will be released Thursday during a celebration of it and five other new books from Wayne State University Press. Coincidentally, the [Shine] family's copies of the book arrived Sept. 14, on what would have been Neal's 77th birthday. ..." http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs .dll/article?AID=/20071024/FEA TURES01/710240395/1025/FEATURE S&theme=MAE102007&GID=htp0RW8I Ok+aUo1P0Iwl9N2wUEidB63aZkW+Pi 9bGOE%3D | ||

Kudos to Wayne State University Press for a very nice event! It was well attended, and quite enjoyable. All the authors were in attendance, holding court while signing their books. Saw a number of familiar faces. Good food and drink. Nice music. All in all, a very good time (and well worth the $20 ticket). | ||
