We are pleased to receive the news that The Lisburn Press has received a top publishing award, being selected as the top publisher in the Baton Rouge area, as well as one of the top publishers in the deep south.  We appreciate this important award, and Earl, Joel authors, who are looking for a publisher to contact us.

August 9th is National Book Lovers Day-a day for those who can’t live without books and reading. Books carried memories from the past as seeing an old book will always transport you back to the time in your life when you read it. In short, books are magical. To check out a wide variety of books, go to www.thelisburnpress.com.

 

My good friend from college days at the University of North Carolina died recently. Jim Reston wrote 18 books. He was a historian and novelist, and he provided a 96-page “interrogation” memo for David Frost’s TV interviews that prodded Nixon to admit, “I let the American people down” over Watergate. He was a great athlete at Carolina, and still holds the record for scoring the most goals in a soccer match there. We last visited in Linville, North Carolina on his book tour a year ago. During our Carolina days, Jim and I would have dinner each evening at the Phi Delta Theta fraternity house. I wish our conversations had been recorded as we made a gallant effort to solve most of the world’s problems. Jim was 82 years old and died of cancer. I will sure miss my friend of 70 years.  To read his full biography, Click Here.
