    Get It by Dec. 24 - 1 day left to order with Standard Shipping

    So says amazon.com. You know what this means?

    That's right, it's Liminal Suggestion #3!

    If your last-minute scramble to buy Christmas presents has been thwarted by the snow, then online shopping is the way to go.

    This picture was taken in June when I (once again desperately in need of a comb) read at RJ Julia Independent Booksellers in Madison, CT, from my new book FROM SQUARE ONE: A MEDITATION, WITH DIGRESSIONS, FROM CROSSWORDS.

    You can order from Amazon by clicking here.

    And if you click on the link you'll see this review from gerryb of Cambridge, MA (another stranger, I promise): "I loved the amazing information so fluidly presented- a fascinating history of crosswords and the gossip, recollections and stories of puzzlers both famous and unknown. I loved finding out that Meg Wolitzer, author of one of my favorite novels ('The Wife') is a serious crossword person."

    One last thing: remember how valuable it is if you recommend this book to others who are also having a hard time thinking of the perfect gift.

    Thank you,
    Dean
