There are some cool things about which there's a temptation to keep secret. For a number of years, I didn't tell most people about the two Starbucks locations in and about the San Diego Convention Center that didn't have such long lines. (Oh, well, this year, they were clearly no longer a secret.)

It's not that I've suddenly turned unselfish; it's just that I've decided to restrain my yearning to accumulate these treats. So I'm letting you know that the Heritage Auction that ends this evening has a bunch of treats for collectors of the McKay Large Feature Books. I haven't seen many of these turn up in this sort of profusion in a long time. Obviously, they were in someone's collection, and now they're available at what seem at the moment to be bargain prices. Check them out. Wow.
