| A MAP FOR THE MAN WHO HAS EVERYTHING |
FATHER'S DAY IS JUNE 20TH |
| What do you get for the man who has everything (& never asks for directions)..? An amazing old map, of course! Historical views of hometowns, vacation destinations, & alma maters all make great gifts for the special men in your life. Imagine the look on his face when, instead of the annual necktie, he receives an antique railroad or mining map-- or a folding tourist map of his favorite city! If your father is the sporting or seafaring sort of man, surprise him with a print or a very classy maritime map. We also have fascinating (& fishy) natural history prints, & marvelously manly pictorial & bird's-eye-views, like the one pictured above. If all else fails, there are always maps by the Beers family of cartographers. Traditionally, dads do love their beers... |
| A Summer Nature Lesson |
Emerge from Summer like a Butterfly |
| Summer is the perfect time to fill one's head with fascinating facts about the natural world. What exciting topics will you be reading about this summer? Perhaps you will study mammals, such as whales, bats, or cats? Will you spend your summer bird-watching with your guide in hand? Maybe you or your little ones are fascinated by insects of all sorts and you plan to build bug hotels. Are you looking forward to long days by the water, fishing or looking for the perfect sea shells? Or is gardening and reveling in gorgeous flowers more your speed? Whatever you spend your time doing, we hope you will enjoy all of the fruits of the lovely summer season! |
