Working With Words: Now Out In Paperback
We were charmed to learn recently that a newly published comprehensive guidebook to Cleveland mentioned this blog as a valuable resource of information about the town. We knew the guidebook's author, veteran Cleveland writer Douglas Trattner, only by his familiar byline, which has appeared over a wide assortment of fine articles around town for a number of years. Thus, we were doubly charmed to stumble over his brief description of WWW: "This sharply written blog by Cleveland-based journalist John Ettorre casts a wide, humorous net around topics as varied as local politics, business, fiction, sports and current events." We also liked the company we found ourselves in: the other two Cleveland-centric blogs he mentioned, Brewedfreshdaily and Writes Like She Talks, are operated by longtime friends of this establishment, George Nemeth and Jill Miller Zimon. In a bit of exquisite timing, given the Cavs' collapse this weekend, the book includes a brief section on "Cleveland Sports: Hope, Heartache, and Wait Till Next Year." Anyway, for those who are interested, the new book is available on Amazon.com. I happened to find a copy in the local Border's.

Congratulations!

Kinda cool, Neve, huh? I must admit, the purist in me would have taken little or no joy in the mention if it was't a good book, or one of those formulaic, hastily thrown together travel books that sprout up like mushrooms after a warm rain. But this is really a nicely written, beautifully designed and illustrated book by a guy who knows and loves the town, and it shows in the product. Hats off to Doug. I hope you'll send some love his way as well.
congrats! Well -deserved and a little bit of grace thrown in too.
You said it, Diane. Grace is precisely the right word.
Congrats John!
Thanks, Soul Lady.
Very nice! Congrats!
Doug, we love commenters around here. But first-time commenters are even more precious. Thanks for visiting.
