I very much miss the beautiful mahogany piano of my childhood- made especially for the tropics (I think in London) and used in Jamaica and Colombia.

Sounds like a lot of piano fans read A Traveler’s Library. I think you will enjoy this book.

Any place is a good place to suggest books to read. Maybe I should start a page for that, though. I wonder if people would bother to look at a page called “Your Suggestions.” Y’ think?

The one thing I loved most in my parent’s home was the piano. It had a brillant sound, very tonal, very beautiful. I can understand the love of pianos. Mystery/Thriller? Sounds great! Sign me up for American Fugue by Alexis Stamatis

One of my favorite art events at Burning Man was the Piano Bell – a structure that looked like an amphitheater made of hundreds of old pianos. I don’t know if the hero of Thad Carhart’s “The Piano Shop on the Left Bank: Discovering a Forgotten Passion” would have like it as much as I did, but your review reminded me of it. Thanks for the review!

Oh a book about pianos – and Paris. I’ll have to read this one. I’m a piano player. In fact, my mahogany salon grand Petrof piano used to be a Harley. Now that’s a story – a published one at Chicken Soup for the Soul: Love Stories.

I had not heard of this book, but as someone who had trouble making friends in France where I lived 25 years, I doubly appreciate this pointer towards an interesting read.

Can’t find the right place for this on your blog, so I’ll just put it here: Vera, thought I’d tell you about my two favorite travel books of ’09: both by an Englishman, Terry Darlington: “Narrow Dog to Carcasonne” and “Narrow Dog to the Indian River.” The adventures are fascinating but it’s Mr. Darlington’s delightful writing that makes these books really good.
