Moon's Rare Books

The Salt Lake Tribune just published this entertaining and informative article about my bookstore in Provo, Utah.

Stepping inside Moon's Rare Books is like entering a room of treasures — first edition books dating back centuries, pop-culture memorabilia and more — all curated by the shop's owner, Reid Moon, who has stories to tell about nearly all of them.

Well, I’m actually here in the UK for two book fairs—this weekend and next. With this afternoon’s announcement of the death of Queen Elizabeth II. Its been a bit surreal. I’m here with family and my good friend Peter, a British citizen, who, after a few hours of letting it sink in, is mourning the loss of a very admirable “mother figure”, Queen Elizabeth. This next nine days should be quite interesting.

And if I should live to be
The last leaf upon the tree
In the spring,
Let them smile, as I do now,
At the old forsaken bough
Where I cling

The best things in life are the people we love, the places we’ve been, the memories we’ve made, and the people we’ve helped along the way.
