  General Notes:

Dear Robert

I was pleased that we were able to converse verbally today.
As the line was not absolutely clear, I am writing to confirm that details of my book "From Here to Obscurity" can be found on www.tenterbooks.com
Because of Mickey Mishne's untimely demise, my book is now available through
Henry Hollander, Bookseller, 843 Twenty-Fourth Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94121
http://www.hollanderbooks.com - Tel: 415-831-3228 - Fax 415-831-3226

The cover copy describes the book as follows
"From Here to Obscurity tells the story of the now lost Jewish East End of London through the eyes of Shulem, an immigrant from Poland, his wife Rivka, and Yulus, their English born youngest son. It takes us through the turbulent years in London f rom 1933 to 1945, through poverty, fascist incursions, evacuation and targeted war-time
bombings by Hitler's luftwaffe that destroyed the infrastructure of this one time thriving East London Yiddish-speaking community, forcing its ultimate dispersion. Shulem's relatives are lost in the Holocaust and many of Yulus's friends are kille d by the last German V-2 rocket to fall on London. Despite all this trauma, 'From Here to Obscurity' is an uplifting tale of human warmth, humor and solidarity in the midst of overwhelming global forces."

Paperbound. ISBN 0-9540811-0-2. Price $24.00
You will see from the www.tenterbooks.com web site that the book has received excellent international reviews including the American Association of Jewish Libraries and the Cleveland Jewish News.

I hope this will help you in distributing information about the book to the Tachna extended family. Please let me have a copy of what you send. Thanks.

Be well, keep well and keep in touch.

Shalom and best wishes to you and yours.
