Logos Bookstore’s Recommendations

As the season changes to autumn and the New York City residents return to their city while the autumn travelers visit the Big Apple, museums continue to be places of great interest to visit. A most handy guide is Museums Of New York City: A Guide for Residents and Visitors by Deirdre Cossman. Besides well- known museums like the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the reader will learn about the King Manor Museum in Jamaica, Queens home to the founding father, Rufus King, who had a farm there from 1825 to 1827. This museum illustrates the story of the King family and the village of Jamaica as it was over 200 years ago.

More discoveries await the reader. The first urban area Audubon Center is located in Prospect Park, Brooklyn. Theodore Roosevelt’s birthplace was actually demolished in 1916 and only rebuilt in 1919 shortly after his death. Staten Island is a treasure trove of history from Historic Richmond Town, with buildings ranging in date from 1695 to 1910, to the Garibaldi-Meucci Museum, home to legendary Italian patriot Giuseppe Garibaldi and telephone inventor, Antonio Meucci.

Each museum entry has helpful symbols or visual codes highlighting particular topics or services available. Additional highlights of each museum are listed at the end of each entry. The book page that starts each museum’s section serves as the map code number for that museum on the map it appears. There are useful appendices in the back listing the museums by subject matter and geography as well as providing a list of alternative names some of the museums go by.

Meanwhile at Logos after a networking/ book signing party for the book above on Monday, October 3, 2005, 6:30 – 8:30 p.m., there will be the monthly KYTV Reading Group meeting on Wednesday, October 5, 2005, at 7 P.M. to discuss Balzac And The Little Chinese Seamstress. On Monday, October 17, 2005, at 7 p.m., the Sacred Texts Group led by Richard Curtis will discuss the first book of Kings. There is Children Story Time every Monday at 3 p.m. led by Dvorah. Logos is also the place to come shop for Halloween for books, cards, and gift items.#
