W ild life on the E dge, by Sally Lackaff, is now
available, so come and get it, all you wonderful folks
who prepaid for your copies, and thus paid for the
printing; all you delightful people who attended
benefits, and donated to auctions, and gave your time
to see this day. Come and get them. We are so
proud of you and what you have helped happen.
Sally’s book took much onger than expected,
because we wanted to make it the best we could, and
we think we have done that. So, if you have
changed your address in the last two years, and have
paid for your copy of the book, let us know where to
send it. If you can possibly make it to Jupiter’s to
pick up your book, that will save us a lot of postage,
and you might get it faster due to the holiday crunch
at the post office. Be sure to call first, if this is your
plan, to make sure someone will be available — 436-
2915. If you haven’t ordered your books yet, please
use the form below. As wc mentioned above, the
book turned out very nice. Our idea was to produce
something like Sally’s hand-bound books that she
did with a grant from the Cannon Beach Arts
Association. And when the books arrived we placed
one of her hand bound copies next to the ‘ trade
edition’, the former $70, the latter $20, and were
delighted to have accompi shed our goal of making
this wonderful work affor 'able to more folks; plus
there are twenty plus mort pages of columns not
included in the original w k, and an index, and
some nice words by varir folks, including an
Jessica, which starts,
introduction by Sally’s s
>ackal'f is an agrarian
“A diurnal omnivore, Sr
nbs and hunter-gather
mammal with opposabl
uin’s blurb on the back
tendencies,” and Ursul
t’s eye and an artist’s
which states, “With a i
, accurate introduction
hand, she gives us an r
dlife.” And of course,
to Coast Range and Be.
j book are rendered by
these words like the res
es, we are very happy
the hands of their autho;
with the results. Yes, it would make a wonderful
gift. And speaking of gifts, Sally is having her own
show at the Cannon Beach Gallery starting Dec.
12th, where she will have a whole bunch of her
original paintings for sale, as well as copies of her
book. There will be a reception for the artist starting
at 6PM - hope to see you all there. And thanks
again for making this happen. Good work folks!!!
W ildlife on the Edge will be available at a signing at the
RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, (503) 325-1270, on December
19th, and is being sold at Mother Nature's in Manzanita,
Cannon Beach Book Co., Cannon Beach Gallery, Jupiter’s in
Cannon Beach, and potentially at the Community Store in
Astoria, and Canyon Way Books, Sylvia Beach Hotel, and
Oregon Books, all in Newport.

T h e S a lin g er S tory
The Oregon Coast has always had more than its
share of writers. The ocean seems to help the words
flow. Famed author Ursula Le Guin has a house here
in Cannon Beach, Jean Auel of Clan of the Cavebear
fame has a place a little south, and mystery writer
M.K. Wren is further south still. And these are just
a few of the better known and published writers who
spend time by this ocean; there arc many more
unknowns and wannabe's scribbling away. They
mostly stay inside and write, but occasionally even
writers have to come out into the real world. Every
once in a while on the street or in the grocery store
you catch a glimpse of a face that you have seen on a
dust jacket. This happens in a lot of small towns like
ours. It is considered bad form to impose yourself
on them, to rant about how you are their biggest fan,
and all that. That is not why they come here. They
get quite enough of that at readings and book
signings, thank you. But sometimes in a village like
this one you will find yourself across the table from a
person you have already met on the printed page, and
they will smile and begin a conversation. This
happened recently. The large dark eyes of Joyce
Maynard were watching as a bunch of us were
playing music at the American Ixgion on Monday
night, as is our habit. Ms. Maynard has visited the
beach before, and we met her briefly at a dinner party
in Manzanita, several years ago. Now she was
staying in a friend's condo, working on her next
book. Steve Duin, a columnist for the Oregonian,
had just written a nasty little piece about Ms.
Maynard and her work in progress. For those who
aren't familiar with her work, Ms. Maynard wrote a
column for the New York Times for several years
that basically exposed the daily joys and pains of
being a wife and mother. When her marriage began
to break up, rather than just deal with it privately, she
included her thoughts in the columns she wrote. She
was criticized for "airing her dirty linen in public".
And Mr. Duin suspected that her new work would be
more of the same, but with some rather more famous
knickers hung out to dry. You sec, when Ms.
Maynard was 18 she was already writing, and one
day she got a letter from J.D. Salinger. Mr.
Salinger, the legendary recluse w ho wrote The
Catcher in the Rye, praised her work. She visited
the 53 year old man, and they became lovers. They
lived together for the better part of a year, and when
Drawing on my fine command of language, I said nothing.

BASEBALL
Few but die-hard fans think of baseball in
December. These times are for perhaps reading about
the game. There arc few pastimes that have inspired
so much great writing as baseball No, "Casey at the
Bat“ is not “Leaves of Grass,” but there are a few
works that we might suggest to folks like ourselves
who have no desire to watch pro foot bid 1 and no
opportunity to watch pro basketball Perhaps the
classics would be a good place to start, 'Ihe Boys of
Summer” by Roger Kahn tells the story of the
Brooklyn Dodgers and their winning season in 1952
‘The Natural” by Bernard Malamud, with its surreal
story of obsession. “Men at Work” by George Will
which celebrates the blue collar traditions of the
game David Iximb’s ‘The Stolen Season” which
talks about the minor league play that terrible year of
the baseball strike. But, we have a special place in
our heart for the writing of W P Kinsella We
suggest “Shoeless Joe,” ‘The Iowa Baseball
Confederacy," and a wonderful collection of short
stories called ‘The Thrill of the Grass.” Arc there any
books about the Cubs, you might ask? Well, Harry
Carey wrote his autobiography, and there arc a few
where the Cubs arc mentioned. Blit you can bet when
they win the Series next year there will be a long list
on the bookstore shelves. Go Cubbies!!!!
