We have made personal connections with our local postal clerks. I still receive Christmas cards from the postmaster at the small rural post office we used 20 years ago. </p><p><br />40% of the packages I have shipped in the last 32 days have been delayed, arrived late or are still in transit. </p><p><br />The USPS has been a trusted partner to this small business for years, and I will continue to support them. If you believe the Post Office needs to get back being the small business supercharger it was, please contact your elected officials. Without the USPS, this small business can't stay in business.<br /> </p><p>To those who have purchased or won books from me, please know I am doing everything in my power to make sure those packages arrive on time, including upgrading shipping at my expense.</p><p><br /></p>Michael Popekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06083697912791290450noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163423095612471504.post-35954459350994395162020-08-14T10:05:00.004-04:002020-08-15T10:08:54.295-04:00Friday Giveaway: Eight Vintage Children's Books - contest closed<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYAa7xIDBdQTBnkhf7gUWTYPQEZQnLVS6ylqurzNmUNow9Z2DHg0TY7AMLML1OtC5EPgGerQCNBDZWMjclSAT-vh7brAg9sD9yFu9c_2_YQmZajxOuYbDSx1OyjvuGgOGutBbK9Ugr5PM/s2000/0814.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="2000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYAa7xIDBdQTBnkhf7gUWTYPQEZQnLVS6ylqurzNmUNow9Z2DHg0TY7AMLML1OtC5EPgGerQCNBDZWMjclSAT-vh7brAg9sD9yFu9c_2_YQmZajxOuYbDSx1OyjvuGgOGutBbK9Ugr5PM/s640/0814.jpg" /></a></div> <p></p>Contest is now closed, winner will be announced shortly.<br /><p>-Click to enlarge photos-</p>Michael Popekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06083697912791290450noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163423095612471504.post-32478527461921591742020-08-08T11:00:00.000-04:002020-08-08T11:00:01.967-04:00Giveaway winner<p>This week's winner was Joseph Sloane, who entered here on the site via email.</p><p>Thanks to all who entered, see you here next time.<br /></p>Michael Popekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06083697912791290450noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163423095612471504.post-25393728790642265102020-08-07T11:00:00.002-04:002020-08-08T10:09:48.520-04:00Friday Giveaway: Eight Antique Poetry Books - contest closed<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS-mnQ4ugzHqsZySdMDhAv3l7pI7Qx6MrSVk-boXtfHjYieXB7WjFz_OwE-6goy6Rk5KED-fwErdSUpRDnBzL0UiSSbHs_wJKbRzA210PejThYH4v6rOXlNm5FZ43yFLjAs60QkUrT6YA/s2000/0807.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="2000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS-mnQ4ugzHqsZySdMDhAv3l7pI7Qx6MrSVk-boXtfHjYieXB7WjFz_OwE-6goy6Rk5KED-fwErdSUpRDnBzL0UiSSbHs_wJKbRzA210PejThYH4v6rOXlNm5FZ43yFLjAs60QkUrT6YA/s640/0807.jpg" /></a></div> <p></p>Contest now closed, winner will be announced shortly.<br /><p><br />-Click to enlarge photos-</p><p> </p>Michael Popekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06083697912791290450noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163423095612471504.post-44047481314058609372020-08-05T10:11:00.006-04:002020-08-05T10:11:37.645-04:00Au H20<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJUQ1jw2S_XOhRCYTlD46ANyXuEe024TPiBy7rlbcQ-DfiebCXN4ph-KOdbEX78i3qkV1kHokSYwG548PC5tBqunaFq8BUhK5QYJRJ-_o_jRSU997T6LvKXopppjP82Yy_fXT-eLuODhY/s2000/goldwater.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="2000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJUQ1jw2S_XOhRCYTlD46ANyXuEe024TPiBy7rlbcQ-DfiebCXN4ph-KOdbEX78i3qkV1kHokSYwG548PC5tBqunaFq8BUhK5QYJRJ-_o_jRSU997T6LvKXopppjP82Yy_fXT-eLuODhY/s640/goldwater.jpg" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Election advertisement for Senator Barry Goldwater.</div><div><br /></div><div>Found in "Soviet Conduct in World Affairs" edited by Alexander Dallin.
